Industry Reviews "[A] tale that offers plenty of engaging plot twists but not much substance....Slightly unpredictable story development saves this from exactly duplicating the vast mound of similar feel-good modern fairy tales for women, but it lives in the same neighborhood." Kirkus Reviews (05/01/2000)
