Anything that keeps me in bed late on Saturday AND Sunday morning has to be a good read. Leanne Pearson (absolutely no relation, as she's from South Africa and I'm a Kiwi) has crafted a very nice story about two tortured souls fighting their way through to happiness. Maybe they took a little long to get there, but I'm always impatient for the happy ending!I've had friends in Christchurch coping with the after-effects of this same huge earthquake, so the story really resonated for me. And I cried several times. You really will need tissues because this is a very emotional book.Katy took her own sweet time letting Dominic into her life, but I could mostly see her reasoning. The tattoo on her back is heart-rending - what a stroke of genius. Maybe we didn't need the fight near the end as we've already had plenty of drama, but authors tell the story the way they want to, and that's fine with me. A very nice story, and I probably shouldn't say this, but so good for a first book.
