I am a fan of Kristin Hannah's writing. It all started for me with The Winter Garden. So when I realized that I had time to read a book NOT as a selection from my book club, I was drawn to Home Again, one that been on my shelf for awhile, waiting for a moment like this.
While I found the book to be a bit predictable, it was an easy, entertaining read that kept me hooked, not wanting to put it down until I finished.
There is a complex web of relationships that begins to show itself, and there is where the predictability lies. As soon as characters are introduced, it is obvious where they are going to fit, and what their conflict will be. This is not the book to go to if you are looking for a deep, intellectual read.
So while predictable, sometimes I am simply in the mood for a good book to read. And that's what this was for me. A book that drew me in, and wouldn't let up until I'd finished it. It contained everything I look for in a book like this - romance, conflict, bad boys, and good boys. It was just what the doctor ordered in the middle of this long and cold winter. A perfect book to read in front of the fireplace.
