Picked this up due to a friend's recommendation, and I did enjoy it. I think I'd have liked it even better if I wasn't in a bad mood to start - the book is full of people doing mean things. It also has people doing nice things, which kept me going. :) Not that I need Pollyanna-level goodness in the books I read, it's just ... I probably could have chuckled at the mean things if I wasn't down in the dumps myself. But that's just me. The story was interesting, I liked how all the threads unraveled and were twined back in, and many of the characters were interesting.
I feel Jane got the shorted throughout the entire book, and even in the epilogue. Wish she could have been given a wee bit more life and story.
Loved the Barnaby twins. Oh how I wanted to knit them a second sweater!
The Tim character got annoying VERY quickly, I was waiting for a safe to fall on him by the second chapter. But then, I'm a younger sister of brothers, so perhaps parts of his character just hit a bit too close to home!
Why the glossary? So that the author could show off some of her "wit"? Boo. Didn't need it, would rather have had those pages be given to actual story content.
Still, good overall read, I don't begrudge the time spent on the book. :)
