I'd never heard of this book until my niece told me she was reading it for school. I decided to read it as well. I was a bit of an Egypt nut when I was younger, so the fascination with Egypt here was terrific. Really liked the overall story as well. Can see why this was a banned book, but let's face it, scary things happen and that doesn't make this book any less worth reading.
Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review... After one random hook up at the wedding of Mia's sister and Matt's brother, two years later Mia can't help but still want him. A well known player, Matt had never been into the “dating” thing yet something about Mia has him unable to stay away.. and once he's had her... there is no going back. Mia attempts to play the player and let their secret affair continue.. but can she trust him? How do you trust a man who is known to only spend one night and move on? These two are adorable together and hot as hell. The book was funny, moving and brought me to tears. A close-knit family that would do anything for one another, characters that you have to love and a fabulous storyline. Highly recommended - another incredible read!
I had read this as a kid, and came back to it as a light nostalgic read. It was interesting to rediscover the plot–it builds slowly, and I wasn't sure where it would end for a while. The book feels a bit dated now, but I should have known to expect that!
I just really like this author. Perhaps it's nostalgia from my youth, and remembering how much I enjoyed reading her books when I was around 12 or so. I can certainly see the problems with the story, but I still mostly found it charming. Definitely one to find a copy of when my own kids are a bit older.
