3.0

I thought this book was interesting however, character development was lacking for some of the characters, especially Paul, along with certain relationships lacking explanation. I found that it was difficult to truly understand the relationship between Paul and Gretchen as we were just hearing about it when it was in the final stages. Also, I found it difficult to feel sorry for Gretchen's family when it came time to finding an heir for Lin's. There were some enjoyable moments, such as when the Lin family finally came together in order to run the company. However, I found that Gretchen's relationships with her friends (Frankie in particular) and her romantic endeavours were boring, lacking substance which is needed to keep a reader entertained. If only the characters and relationships were given more of a spotlight, the novel could have been more enjoyable to read.
