★☆☆☆☆
Not a fan of the story....but one of the author, sometimes
There was no problem with the style of writing, but seriously... Miriam was like the saint in the book and the heroine's father the misunderstood elder son who deserved happiness. And unless there are some "serious" issues with parents and children (which don't come across as such, I know those who are much worse), a child typically doesn't question a more familial connection with the "other woman" over her mother because she has a simpler life, and if she does surely it would take longer than 2 visits. The only character that I believe was true to form was Nate, the hero. Real emotions. Real expressions. He might have had illusions of his own father, but Miriam's side thoughts about the type of man the father was, wasn't sound enough. The relationship with another woman's husband shouldn't have been more fulfilling than wanting something of her own. I just don't see how anyone, fact or fiction, could justify accepting grains of love and life. More self-love, in my opinion would nip that in the bud. And goodness the mother and the uncle of the heroine, I won't even get started on. Honestly aside from Lily and Nate, there wasn't much redeemable about the story line. All the characters seem so out of touch with reality that liking the book was not possible.
