Easy breezy enough. Several plot lines, many of which were drawn out foreverrrr and then wrapped up too quickly. Better than so-so, but not a favorite

Good find from the library. Sometimes when you marry rich it's not that fun!!! May read more of Robyn Carr's books now.

I love Robyn Carr. Love her books. BUT I was slightly unhappy with what happened to one character at the end. I disagree with who she ended up with. But great story, didn't want to put it down and very upset that I couldn't read during my lunch today because of a meeting. 😫

I‘ve never read a Robyn Carr book that I didn‘t like. Of course there are some I didn‘t like quite as much as others. The Life She Wants is one of those I enjoyed but it doesn‘t top my list of favorite Carr reads.

While Jennifer didn't find a whole lot of drama or suspense in this book, it was a pleasant read and one she's glad she read.
