Ratings and reviews

Good Book. Held my attention & I read it all in one sitting. Mandy was a little frustrating & naive at times but Frankie was always there for her. Whether she realized it or not. We all need a Frankie in our lives.

It's a good story but I felt that it was incomplete somewhere. Maybe some more twists and turns would have been good. But for now it is a good story which I kept reading and finished in one sitting.

The characters were likable but not that memorable because the story focused more on Mandy opening her restaurant than on the character development. The book simply didnt live up to my expectations.
