Can't remember the title). jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606291700379987935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831493830359521087.post-85891665971386536662015-12-17T19:08:14.626-08:002015-12-17T19:08:14.626-08:00I recently read "The Lake House" too and...I recently read "The Lake House" too and I liked it pretty well, but I thought it got kind of draggy and dull at a few points. Interestingly, I normally pick out exactly the types of plot holes and overly-convenient developments you mentioned but somehow I didn't really notice those here! I think I was too busy thinking about how similar the plot was to "The Thirteenth Tale," which I had just finished. Have you read "The Secret Keeper" by Morton? If not, you should -- I thought it was a 5-star read! (P.S. I don't really like the cover either. I don't know why they didn't keep it consistent with her other covers?)Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065930972046877154noreply@blogger.com
