patgalca I guess it's a matter of opinion. For a Christmas read, and it definitely was centred around Christmas, it was quite depressing. And then even the happy ending was cheesy.

patgalca @sallypup I don't like being on medication. This is why I tried to go off the antidepressant. Four medications, let's make it three. Nope. Can't live without any of them. Who knows what damage they are doing to various organs in my body? But I have no side...

patgalca I don't think I've read any of her books. If I have it was a long time ago, but I think I may be confusing the name with someone else. Or, maybe I have one of her books in my archive of unread books.

patgalca I'm sure the next story is probably about Clementine and whatever man that crosses her path and the ones to follow will bring in new characters. Unfortunately I have book 3 but not book 2. I don't want to spoil it so waiting to get my hands on book 2.
