SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!I started off liking the novel; the synopsis sounded intriguing so already I'm hooked, but I soon jumped ship once I realized the protagonist of the story, Sara, was a complete and utter moron. Seriously, how stupid can someone be? She hasn't had sex with her husband, Bram, for over six months and he has just told her that he's had an affair.""You... you've been having an affair." It wasn't a question. It was a dull, flat statement."It doesn't even rise to that level." Bram said. "It was meaningless. A one-off.""If that wasn't bad enough, her only living blood relative, Aunt Amelia who she loves dearly, has just passed away. Now, I totally get one becomes distraught and overcome with grief when it comes to the death of a loved one, but to call and ask her husband to be with her to give her a hug? Hell no. A few days later she learns she's inherited millions and is already looking forward to sharing her life and money with her cheating husband. She's already thinking of a joint bank account as she skips out of the lawyer's office. Is she for real?! If that wasn't bad enough, she knows he's totally attracted to Bonnie who just happens to be all over him. Open your eyes!Bonnie, now there's a piece of work. Sara knows Bonnie is after the property from the get-go; she's pawing her husband; and then lies to the cops telling them that she saw Sara push Bram off the stairs trying to kill him (when it was really the other way around). But all is forgiven at the end when she asks Bonnie to be her partner in opening up a B&B.; Really? Give me a break! If I continue to roll my eyes they'll just pop out of my head.A story that started off well only to be marred by a complete airhead, boob, nitwit, imbecile, fool, simpleton....I just love my thesaurus.
