Odd, I guess that is the best way to describe how this book reads. Yep, odd is the best I can come up with. There are details mentioned for no reason, no follow-up on what they might contribute to the story.
Michelle Spicer is an award winning artist working as a housekeeper. She plays at sketching, but never shows Alesandro. Her mother had burned her portfolio, but no explanation why.
Alessandro Castiglione is an art dealer and artist himself. He paints a picture of Michelle, but never shows it to her. A brief mention of a past relationship, bits about his mother, but nothing to really explain why he is so against Michelle when he finds out she is pregnant.
Overall, the story just left me feeling odd. It seemed like I missed paged and important aspects of the story were missing. It was still an ok story to read, just a little off.
