Sinclair has a very straightforward writing style that puts everything out in front of her audience.  Her natural descriptions allow you to visualize the scenes without being over the top or cartoonish.  The storyline is also quite unique.  While on the surface it follows the clichéd student-teacher model there is so much more to it than that.I really appreciated seeing the main character continue on with life after having overcome tragedy and hardship.  She’s a strong, stand-up individual without being over the top.  Everything about her is so real and you really feel for her and want to see her succeed.  Conversely, I found that the male lead ran hot and cold.  He’d go from happy-go-lucky to yelling at the flip of a switch.  I found it really hard to peg his character down.  It made it difficult for me to get fully on board with the story.  The supporting cast was simply that, support for the main characters.  They were developed only in the ways that would fulfil their roles in the story with little more.  I also found that the dialogue in this story was a bit forced at times, making it even harder to get in touch with the supporting cast.Overall, this was a nice story.  I enjoyed the storyline itself but had some difficulties with the characters.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
