So far, I am disappointed. The setting is Washington, DC, and the author mentions a character's trips to the Maryland shore for lobster rolls. Unless my memory fails me, having been visiting the MD shore since I was a small child, and having been to NE and had their lobster rolls, this is a mistake. As far as I know, lobster rolls are New England's claim and not Maryland's. A crab cake would have been more appropriate. I hate it when an author gets a detail like that wrong. Of course, I could be wrong but...don't think so. So far, that has tainted my opinion of the book. I almost stopped reading it at that moment. But, I'll give it a chance...grudgingly. I can't believe that I actually finished the book. The premise of the story was good and I found myself liking the characters. However, in addition to the lobster roll thing, there were details that were not consistent throughout the book that really bothered me. It could have been a lot better with such an interesting plot line, but it turned out to be only mildly entertaining.
What do You think about Blessing In Disguise (1995)?
