Review: Hooked from the beginning
Rating: 5 out of 5

I normally reserve 5 stars for a few select authors, but  R. Silver deserves it!Sam is an Asian-American musician that recently divorced (a no-no in her culture). She is trying to pick up the pieces to her life and runs into Trevor - literally. Can Trevor turn this "old maid" into a free spirited woman? Or is Trevor's secret too much for Sam?This story really draws you in. You get both point of views, which I love. You see the train wreck before it happens, and the after math, and there is nothing you can do. Claire, Sam's friend, has such a small part in this book... but without her, it wouldn't be the same. We should all have a friend like her.This book hits on so many subjects - different cultures (Asian-American), casual sex (dating vs fling - is there a book that explains the rules?), music and photography (I have children majoring in both, and it is nice to read about people actually making a career out of it LOL), alcoholism and depression (and the shame that it brings, although it shouldn't), and the fact that simply communication is always the answer (this is shown a few times in the book).It is a short read, and really left me wanting more. It wasn't what I expected, the title made me think I was going to read something different (and honestly, I didn't even read what the book was about).I hope to read more from R. Silver in the near future :)
