Read this as a buddy read so using my comments as a review
Read through chapter 5
Anyone else going noo not the stylist.
The poor single women in town must struggle to find nice single men in a small town.
I'm enjoying this soo much already too. Yeah Dakota had the most drastic reaction to his childhood signing up for the military but maybe the reaction I understand the most. Hearing the bits about his background made me emotion. Very sweet and sad.
Yeah I like Sid. I think its somewhat understandable throwing herself into work. I imagine her husband wasn't that available as a medical student. Thats long hours also. And if shes footing all the bill... but yeah she must have been a little blind to not see any red flags.
I said Neely wasn't right from Sierras book. I'm wondering if shes going to try and claim rape.. thats my fear for him. Yeah it is a temper tantrum. The way she threw herself at him confused me. Like why would that be your reaction.
So read through chapter 11. Stopping myself so I don't finish this in one sitting... meant to go through chapter 10 but I some how missed I'd finished that chapter haha.
Yay so happy for Lola and Tom. They're so sweet.
Also happy for Connie & Sierra. Did either of you use the traditional vows and used the Obey part when you got married? My husband and I didn't. I'm 100% not the obeying the wife part and he was not going to let me say it regardless, but I understand its not been the thing to do for a while so kinda curious what you both did.
Are we going to get another romance or side story for the last sibling?? Quite curious to see her story even if its a side bit.
Sedona? I can't spell her name as I'm listening. How do you think she'll cope with her diagnosis? I'm going to reckon she'll call and need help. Where do you think she is?
Finished
I don't love how Bob spoke about her. "Perfect wife" I'm certain I don't fit that stereotype!
Didn't like how Dakota acted because she wanted to go back to work temporarily. Seemed a little possessive to me.
Yay thank god Dakota got the camera footage.
Oh my. Poor Sierra and Connie. That made me very sad. So glad they got it all sorted out. I knew it would work out just sad they had to go through that.
Would you guys give up a career like Sid's? I'm not sure I would to be honest.
Yeah I agree Laura, Carr has a wonderful way of being realistic but not negative. Its a balance she does very very well. I think its also realistic that they can't do much about Nealy aside from send her on. Unless she commits some big crime and gets jail time now much they can do.
