While I liked the plot of the story and the multiple points of view, I didn't really feel that the story transitioned well in going from one point to another, but maybe that's just me. Some parts of the book seemed to drag on, while other parts started to appeal to me.

It's different from most books, which is what I liked about it, but I feel that it lacked some important opportunities. Aaron and Carla obviously were supposed to have this chemistry and I feel like they barely admitted it. Yes, she's technically supposed to mourn her almost-always-absent husband, Seth. Then she's dating a cop guy after getting word about the plane crash, and then she meets Aaron at the hospital. There's not really a smooth transition in between men. It's almost as if she's running from one straight to another.

The daughter, Kaleigh, sounds like a typical teenager. She wants to be older than she is, so she can hang with the older boys. She has an absent father, but she really needs a dad! In today's world, I can't tell you how many kids can relate to that feeling. But it's really sweet how open and accepting she is of Aaron because not all teenagers are going to accept just any guy in their mother's life. ( )
