Query: There are better beach reads......

This is one of those books that you have to convince yourself to continue reading, and in some cases, particularly in section 2, bribe yourself to finish. The only character of any interest is Mike, and at times, Carrie's mother. Why anyone in New York was begging Carrie to return is beyond me. On a good note, I thought the author did a nice job with the ending, not everything needs to be wrapped in a bow and resolved. There are better beach books this summer, I am on to "The Lovely Bones".
