This novel by Joy Fielding is an interesting read. On the surface Terry Painter seems to be an impulsive irrascible nurse who rents out a cottage on her property to scatter-brained Allison Simms of no fixed address or job.For most of the novel it appears that Ms Simms is taking advantage of the older Ms Painter but as the novel advances the plot thickens. There are some confusing diversions along the way but the ending is dynamite!

Usually Joy Fielding's books keep me intersted and on the edge of my seat. But this one was horrible. The ending is what really ruined it for me. I found the plot to be farfetched and often nonsensical which leads up to an ending that is just ridiculous and made me feel like I had wasted my time plodding through the entire book to get to the dumb ending. I would say skip this one, it isn't worth your time to try it.

didn't like this book at all. The protagonist, Terry, rents her cottage to a young woman named Alison Simms. Terry has been unlucky in love, unlucky in childhood and unlucky with tenants. Alison offers fun and friendship and introduces Terry to a rather questionable crowd.
Terry is not a likable character. A bitter nurse, she pins her hopes on having a romantic relationship with the son of one of her geriatric patients on the terminal ward. This starts off promising, but ends up a bust.

Parts of the story made no sense. Alison and her friends are a bizarre, eclectic bunch. A Thanksgiving celebration with them and Terry takes on a surreal tone; when they meet Terry at her job for New Year's, that is just too unrealistic. The sequence of events that take place near the ocean are stupid and implausible. In fact, all of the holiday scenes and beach scenes are ludicrous to the point of surreal.

Masks come off and villains change roles and places. The questions are is Alison who and what she claims to be, a newcomer to Florida in need of a place to stay and friends? Is Terry what she claims to be, a bitter, lonely nurse? And what of Alison's friends and Terry's former borders?

There are no winners here. My favoite part was when Terry sang "She Loves You" along with the Beatles when she heard the song on the radio. If that's the best this work has to offer...The ending is a bust and is a major disappointment. Skip this one. You'll find a plethora of better selections, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This one's a bust.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Pretty decent
This book was a bit slow but on the psychological side, it was very well done. The author kept the main character interesting. You care for her, you feel bad and then... Lisez davantage

3.0�toiles sur 5 A disappointment compared to other Joy Fielding books
It was a decent enough book but it lacked the quality that Fielding has intergrated in her other books.The story was confusing and was missing a climax. Lisez davantage
