Title: Hearts on a String
Author: Kris RadishType of book: Fiction
This book takes place in modern day in a Florida hotel in a "Spring Storm". Five strong and very different ladies are thrust together over a downed cell phone.
Holly, Patti, Cathy, Nan and Margo all have very different back grounds and stories to tell. This book begins with them all "meeting" over one of the ladies cell phones being flushed down the airport toilet and how they must work together to save it. That's just the beginning of how these women come to be stuck together for a week in a hotel room as a "spring storm" rolls through Florida. As you learn about each lady, you learn the story they want you to know and the real story of their lives- very different from the story they begin with.
Patti is a "lounge" singer who the others think have had it all; she has a murderous and abusive past.
Holly has a brain tumor, or does she? Her funny feeling turns to be an extraordinary strength that saves the life of another woman during their week in the hotel.
Nan is bitchy and successful. However she has secrets that are worth millions, but how will she turn her husband and others over to authorities for theft?
Margo is a stay at home mother with a keen sense on what will bring the ladies together and calm nerves. Of course she has to plunge into a secret investigation before she can calm all nerves.
Cathy is a hooch, husband stealing, forever flirt ad never without a drink. Or is she?
This book is 318 pages long. That's nothing right? Then why did it take me two weeks to get through it? This book was slow moving and took forever to develop the characters. I am on page 265 and still don't have a clue how it will end and what the complete story of Cathy is. The next 53 pages better be really good!
I have read several other books by Kris Radish, but she won't be the next book I go out to buy.
