So what did you think??

I've been  meaning to say that I like the progression of Steph from a seemingly out for herself reporter to a caring woman understanding the harsh realities of life but still willing to love.

Yeah, I think Steph matured a lot - I guess she probably would, having survived that fiasco!

Kristus412 - glad you enjoyed it! Grin

Waking another old thread, as I just finished reading the book. Great read - also just left a review.
