Spring Always Comes

Emotional rating: 5 stars
Real quality rating: 3.5-4 stars

This was a quick read with just the right dash of suspense and a generous seasoning of romance. Connie is a plucky young woman who manages to lay hands on a goal and work toward it. Her annoying half-brother Nick can't seem to stop dragging her down with him. And her throwing over her suitor to give her best friend a chance at him has made her lose her best friend also...

Overall, it isn't very realistic, with folks seeing where they are wrong and instantly working to fix it, unless they are villains. I guess I'd call it overly idealistic. But I loved the characters and in the end what happened to all of them is exactly what I wanted them to get, so I ended the book feeling a great deal of personal satisfaction!
