Review:

Very readable tale of 911 romance. All the brand-name dropping and stupendously rich people and 
fscottfitzgerald-lite prose make for a confection that never quite gets past superficial. Somehow I 
never cared about the protagonists or whether their children overdosed or went off with their 
biological mother, yet still was gripped to read the book far into the night as the wind swayed the 
windows as at sea.
