I enjoyed reading Marie Astor's novel. I liked the characters, I liked the story they were a part of, and I found there to be a definite likeness to relationships you see in reality...perhaps without all the glam of owning half of Manhattan!I always enjoy something that is well-written, which the novel was, but for some reason I wasn't happy with the transitions; they weren't very smooth and made the writing a bit choppy. It's a very small complaint within the context of the book as a whole.Clearly the book is all Claire and David and you want to see how things pan out for them, but while there is emotional upheaval to be felt you don't get as much insight into the character's thoughts as much as it was played out in their actions (which didn't suit me so much, but could work for others). The secondary characters were also fun to get to know, actually I rather wished they were fleshed out a bit more.I wasn't lost to the book by any means, but I did enjoy it and would encourage someone else to read it as well!
