Because, my goodness, if I knew these people in real life Id be fleeing away from their venomous, misogynistic attitudes as quickly as my little legs could take me. We begin to see some nuance to chauvinist Levi and obnoxious Faith (even though this mostly occurs through a series of excruciatingly long flashbacks), and they become slightly less appalling than they are at the outset of the book. In a way Im glad that I forced myself to keep reading through this one, because the books few redeeming qualities are at its end. But sparks, of course, begin to fly between Faith and Levi, no matter how much the two try to deny it by turning their attentions elsewhereLevi to his police work and his sister Sarahs struggles with fitting in at uni Faith to her landscape design business and her utter determination to fix up her widower father with a new partner. Levi, meanwhile, is still recovering from the collapse of his marriage. Faith is not only nursing a broken heart, but also a good deal of loathing towards Levi Cooper, whom she blames for encouraging Jeremy to come out. I simply found it incredibly difficult to get through, for a number of reasons, although having at long last finished the book, Im a little more mixed in my response.įaith Holland has returned to her small New England home town after hightailing it out of there after a disastrous wedding day in which her fiance Jeremy came out as gay. And not because its a particularly long or challenging read. And thats because it took me about a week to read this. Theres a reason that this review is appearing about a week later than originally scheduled. And if the latter, at what point would they do so? Yesterday I asked the readers of the RIASS Facebook page whether they make themselves finish reading a book thats really not to their tastes, or whether they put such a book down.
