I picked up this book at a bookstore sidewalk sale, thinking it would be a light beach read. Well, it was light all right--too light.

Romance is not my favourite genre, but I can enjoy it if it's well-written and not too cliché. Unfortunately, that was not the case for this book, although my first clue might have been the name of one of the characters: "Jewel Fairchild."

The characters in this book were so shallow and silly, I might have wanted to shake them had they been the least bit believable.

But then, this is not my genre, and there are clearly readers who enjoy this sort of fiction, so I won't say more.
