The first chapter grabs your attention and doesn&#8217;t let it go &#8211; much the way Vicky did to Matt. I especially liked that Vicky\/Sandy was written as a strong woman, and not seen as competition but a companion and Matt is able to admit when she is indeed smarter than he.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;This book would be great for book groups since it lends itself so very well to discussion.
