This was a wonderful book that I read outloud to my 3 companions during many of our driving hours -all 446 pages' worth. It might have been written for the female population but my 3 guys also enjoyed it!!! One particular day, as evening came upon us and it got darker, the part I was reading was too good to put down so they suggested we stop long enough for me to shift into the front passenger seat so I'd have better visibility. When that place got too dark to read we turned on the inside dome light so I could continue to read in the night as we continued to our next destination. I highly recommend this book - it's really good!
