This one will keep me thinking

I really love Barbara O'Neal books. There is always room in her stories for flawed characters and redemption. Sometimes I disagree with the outcomes, but like life, sometimes only imperfect endings are available. A very good thought provoking read.

I really liked this one,not at all what a thought it was going to be. I am looking forward to reading her next one.

I can imagine I'll be reading this one more than once. Delightful Brain Candy. A story deftly spun by the author to keep me connected and thinking about the characters between the times I was able to carve out time to read the book. I want to know what happens next and that to me is a Good Book.

I bought this as material for a weekly question for a chat site, but have found it very thought provoking.  I find myself opening it randomly to stir introspection.

Gave me a lot to think about. About restarting a thought process when my own "correctness" presses down on me...

This one is my favorite. Once I got to here, I was invested and ready for some answers. Not all the answers made me happy. But I expected that by now. Definitely my favorite :-)

This is one of those stories that really gives you food for thought, much in the same way that On the Island did for me. I was constantly putting myself in the scenario, wondering how I would respond in the same situation. I have always felt that I have very strong feelings as it relates to marriage, fidelity, and trust, and they still remain; but what this story did was helped me to see the subtle nuance and fragile nature of a relationship. I mean this book really made me think, and examine the nature of infidelity and the importance of communication in a committed marriage/relationship.

The author slowly and meticulously drew us into the life and of Claire and Chris, and helped to paint the picture of how they made it to the point of being ships passing in the night. What I always find fascinating when authors give the male and female POV, is that the male is usually thinking on the right track, but they don't often verbalize it. It was also intriguing to see how they each dealt with stress; initially Claire would reach out, but Chris would close up, even getting to the point of asking Claire to basically leave him alone because he was so depressed over his unemployment. With a year of unemployment, and then another year of working a stressful job that kept him away from his family, Chris drifted farther and farther away from Claire.

Meanwhile, enter Daniel;  a sweet, gentle soul, who picked up on so much of what Claire needed and desired, and still managing to be a gentleman. Okay, now here is where me gauging my moral compass gained momentum. I knew that the direction of the relationship between Claire and Daniel was not healthy and extremely dangerous and I knew that it was wrong, but I understood it. The emotional bond that they created, is much more intimate and stronger than any physical relationship could be. I just kept holding my breath, because I was afraid of the outcome, and I cared enough about all three in this dynamic that I didn't want anyone to get hurt. Was it nave of me to want to see them all happy, especially Daniel?  In the end, I felt like my heart was a bit in limbo ; I was hopeful and optimistic, but a little sad and I wasn't really sure why. I felt like this story was a tool to recalibrate that moral compass, WOW Tracey, that some powerful gift you've got there. Thanks for a thought provoking read.

Interesting ideas, but I'm still thinking about them.  Some of them seem a little beyond me and my concept of reality.  But I do find myself asking these questions as I go about my day and become aware of my thoughts.

Great characters, disturbing plot lines, and just when you think you know all the answers...I will read this one again

Although, I'm not yet halfway through this book, the words written across its pages had my interest peaked from the very beginning. There are few books that can capture the emotions and thoughts going through the main character's mind with such color and depth, and this one does it beautifully. But, what I like most, is the mystery behind it. Because the story is told in the first person perspective, the reader is left wonder and awe at the events occurring in the book right along with Devan, (the main character), adding that extra air of curiosity that keeps us wanting to come back for more, or not wanting to put the book down, at all.

I can't say if I'll like the ending to this story, but for the moment, it has me very much entertained. If you don't believe me, you can always take a 'Look Inside' and see for yourself.

This was much better than I expected. The author makes me think as I go through the possibilities to out guess what the ending might be.

I enjoyed this venture into areas that made me look deeper at the decisions we make with information or lack  there off .  I am retraining my brain as I write this, to question more. Which will make my family crazy!

Had I been given the choice of a four-and-a-half star rating, that's the one I would've chosen for this book. Besides providing page-turning suspense, the premise of this story evokes many thought-provoking questions to which there are no clear-cut answers. For this reason, I will recommend it to my reading club. I think we will get a lot of discussion mileage out of it. The only reason I would withhold that final hallf-star is because the style falls a little short of what I consider a true "five-star" rating.

I thought this was well written but surprisingly darker than I expected. I will have to digest this one before I know what I really think.

There is a lot I like about this book. I've been spending too much money on books so I decided to re-read some I already own. I picked this one out of the blue; it was just next in line. This version of the future has some interesting new technology but it's not overdone. I like the foundation of the setting. I like the good guys and I'm scared of the bad guys. But I especially like the writing. I checked my Kindle and realized that I had highlighted a dozen passages. They were either especially insightful, truly funny or written with a wicked twist of mind and words. Really, the only drawback for me was that the plot moved from one set of characters to the next (and there were a lot of them) and from one time frame to another a little too sharply and too often. It was sometimes hard to figure out where and when the story was happening and to whom. I'll probably wait a while and read it a third time but I have a couple hundred other books I need to revisit first. I hope I like some of them as much as I like this one.
