Very good story

This story pulled me in from the very beginning and I couldn't put it down. It is very well written!

This book was a great read! A child with autism needs around-the-clock care. He's got a great dad, but his mother---oy.....she's an awful woman. Completely self-centered. Instead of loving her child, she prefers to lavish all her affection on her husband's credit card and joint bank account. Emily is a breath of a fresh air. She can recognize when a child needs help and she's not afraid to admit it. Most parents don't want to admit that their child isn't normal. Emily knows that early intervention is key. Her compassion for Trevor is so overwhelming that his dad knows he's finally found the right woman for them both.

The only thing I didn't really like about this is how quickly Emily jumped in the sack with Brad. Both aren't even officially divorced yet. The attraction is there, yes, but I didn't think the timing was quite right.

Great character building. Great plot. Satisfying ending. I just thinking the timing was a little off.

I probably would give this 2 1/2 stars if that was an option. VERY predictable. Too much sex. And not written that well. I give the author credit for trying to introduce the topic of autism, which she did mainly with well researched facts. And the idea of how hard it is for many parents/people to understand autism. But I will not be continuing this series. I need more meat in my books :-)

Eigentlich ganz schöne Geschichte. Es liest sich schnell und ist schön für zwischendurch.

Die frisch getrennte Emily ist total sympathisch, wirkt aber sehr unsicher und fast eingeschüchtert.
Sie zieht bei Brad ein, hilft im Haushalt und kümmert sich um den kleinen Trevor während er arbeitet.
Brad ist ein seltsamer Typ und sehr arrogant. Aber er entwickelt sich und beginnt mit Emilys Hilfe seinen autistischen Sohn zu verstehen.
Als aber seine boshafte Ex auftaucht ändert sich Einiges...

Aber die Figuren reagieren oft nicht nachvollziehbar und der kleine Trevor kommt mir ein wenig zu kurz.
Alles entwickelt sich sehr schnell und man fliegt durch das Buch. Und es ist gar nicht schlecht, wenn sich nicht alles einfach klärt, wenn es eine bösartige Person gibt, die einem das Leben schwer machen will und einen frustrierenden Weg verfolgt.

Frustrierend war aber auch der Schreibstil teilweise. Mal liest es sich flüssig, die nüchternen aber sehr detaillierten Beschreibungen geben Atmosphäre und manchmal stockt es einfach und hat keinen Fluss.
Die Gespräche zwischen Emily und Brad sind immer seltsam, die Anziehung zwischen aber glaubhaft.

At first I didn't want to read it because I thought the description gave away too much information & seemed more like a summary, but as I read it, i was actually caught up in the story and stayed up all night reading until I had realized the sun was coming up and I needed to sleep. I learned a lot about autism symptoms while reading this. I enjoyed the read even though I thought it would take me longer to finish or it would end up as the 3rd book I couldn't bring myself to finish.

good insight into the symptoms of autism but nothing much else!

A quick and entertaining enough read if you enjoy soap opera situations.
