Summary: I recommend
Comment: I recommend this book. The character development was great, with just enough eccentricities to make them interesting, but with enough history to make them believable. The way they each deal with their frustrations mirrors real life. I keep looking for more books by Cindy Blake, or other books like this one. It was memorable.

Summary: The author keeps your attention through the whole book.
Comment: I have never read any books by Cindy Blake before, but the synopses for Second Wives sounded interesting enough to give it try. I was pleasantly surprised. She's a good writer, and her story held my attention. The story is about four sisters, two of whom are second wives, Meg and Amy; Leonora (Leo) who has just become involved with a married man (Nick); and Beth, the cynical single in their group. Their mother is dead, as is a younger brother, and their father has always led a live of his own. As Beth, Meg, and Amy try to help Leo see how she's throwing her life away on Nick, they each must deal with baggage in their own lives. Meg's marriage is falling apart, Amy's first husband has arrived back in town and is turning her head, Beth is in love with a man she met at the age of 12, and has been following this hopeless dream for years, their father is trying to be involved in their lives, and lets not forget to throw in the ex's and step-children for a cauldron of trouble.

Summary: Very Good Vacation Book
Comment: I read this book while on vacation in Florida over Xmas and enjoyed it a lot. These four New England sisters and their trials and tribulations over their parents, husbands and boyfriends zipped right along while engrossing me. The problems of the sisters who are also second wives are very realistically depicted as well. Two of them are second wives and a third will become one when her intended man's divorce comes through. The unmarried sister who is a shrink can be alternately witty and annoying. By the end of the book, she was grating on my nerves. The book also goes a bit over the top towards the end with one of the first wives becoming unhinged. Most of these love relationships/marriages do work out by the end though and, all in all, it is a very good reading experience.
