"For one, she doesn’t artificially prolong the keeping of a secret, and in particular she doesn’t force the characters to be artificially stupid in order to keep them from realizing something important and acting on it. She acknowledges that the characters have brains and will use them, and goes with it." I often read novels where I thinking who could be this clueless? It's nice to see that there are some smart writers out there putting things together that are realistic. Donna love novels, and I am thinking about getting this one for her. She just finished reading the entire twilight series, and was completely hooked....I couldn't imagine a 30 something acting like a teenager! Kelly This line in your review is what really got me.
