Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really enjoy this series, though as a rule I just love SX Meagher's style of writing. She really delves into the psyches of her characters, getting to the root of motivations and actions. It's a treat to read. Perhaps it isn't for everyone. I have heard some complaints about the length of some of the books. Myself, I was sort of sad at the "life" detail that was chopped out of the first two books as they were prepared for being published, but it still worked very well. I just love how these characters have been created, how human they seem with their faults and flaws, yet even in their missteps they're also some type of idealized version of aspects of all of us. The heart of these books, the relationship between Ryan and Jaime, provides an extremely strong base, and I love reading about the love and learning they experience in their "ordinary" lives with their family and friends. This author weaves a rich tapestry of setting and psychology that is second to none.
This particular book, the seventh in the series, is also the shortest (so far). It's a charming little ditty that is mostly a light romp through Disneyland as Jaime continues to build a relationship with her mother, but also includes plenty of life lessons and emotional exploration as Jaime learns things about her past and that of her parents, and as Ryan and Jaime deal with taking care of little Caitlin for several days. I'm very impressed at this point in the series about how every situation is used as an opportunity the author can take to deepen the relationships between the characters. This book is a quick read, but has a depth to it as well that makes it satisfying.
So go on vacation! Read about Catherine, Jaime, Ryan and Caitlin in Disney Land, and wish you were there as well: having breakfast with Goofy, riding the Tea Cups, swimming in the Neverland Pool. This book is definitely not a stand alone book, and you'll be lost as far as many of the deeper issues if you jump into the series at this point, but fans of the series should be well entertained.
