Review: Enjoyable but cliche and predictable

This was a pleasant read, it was an easy to read love story. Did people actually  fall in love and propose that quickly back in the '40's??I enjoyed the friendship the four girls shared, each girls story was brief and not not overbearing. The time they spent together on the ship was sweet, the kind of friendship many women hope for, so was a pleasure to read about.I was disappointed they didn't reunite much earlier in the book so we could really see their friendship blossom.You won't be surprised by the ending, but then this is a love story, so happy ever afters should be included, but it got a little cliche at the end and I was kinda sick of it by that stage and glad to see the end.Much of the book post arriving in America was focused on Betty, which was a shame as story development surrounding the other three girls cold have gone much deeper. I was tired of always hearing about Betty' plight, perhaps she should have had a story of her own.All in all a sweet book if romance is right up your ally.
