A follow-up of the characters in her first book (and in my opinion, best) Good in Bed. It made me both laugh and cry - good chick lit.

Review by: Nance
The subtitle of the book is "Memoirs of a Boy Soldier." It is the heartwrenching story of a boy in war torn Sierra Leone in the 1990s. It is written in simple language, but the descriptions are graphic.

This book was like a box of good chocolates. I couldn't stop myself from reading it and I didn't want it to end. It wasn't as good as my favorite Jodi Picoult book (My Sister's Keeper) but it was still a great read.

Very engrossing. Along the lines of Fatal Attraction, with obsession and deception. The main character is hard to sympathize with at first, as is his wife, but by the end they've both made some positive changes.

Basic story line is good but her books are so repetitive that she says a lot of nothing on most of the pages.
