Shreve chooses to go back and forth between about 20 different characters which gets really annoying because half of the characters are extremely insignificant to the story.Italiahttp://marraige2last.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551174226878418503.post-50038266883768685592011-11-26T21:33:20.040-06:002011-11-26T21:33:20.040-06:00I do love Shreve but this was my least favorite so...I do love Shreve but this was my least favorite so far.
