I downloaded this book for free; I am glad I didn't pay for it. I am a bit of shopaholic and I tend to enjoy books about shopping and fashion, but this book was really hard to finish. It took me 4 attempts to finally finish.Possible spoilers warning!!!!Annie is so unlikeable; what a self-centered, stuck up person! I feel for those poor children being dragged around from one place to another. Her insistence and reasons for keeping her children in a private school even though she can't afford it is mind boggling. I was in private school from kindergarten till college, and I can tell you from personal experience that it doesn't guarantee your future, and no, it doesn't make one better than others who go to public school. That's just one example of the ridiculousness that Annie believes in. Not to mention, dating rich guy because she wants to be taken care of, and thinking one is most attractive because he lives on her dream street in the neighborhood. Her self righteousness makes it so hard for me to sympathize.The twist about her husband is good, I must admit. I didn't see it coming, but again, I couldn't sympathize. I just felt sad for the children.This is the first book by this author I've ever read. I am not a fan of the character or the formatting. I won't be buying the next books.
