This is basically a soap opera disguised as a book, but I’ll admit: I’m totally hooked. Actually, it’s a mix of chick lit and romance as well. This book is part of the “Cedar Cove” series, but I realized that after I bought the book. This was the third in the series, so I ordered the first book. It’s mindless reading, but sometimes, that’s exactly what I want.
