Whisper Beach is an intro novel in a series. Vanessa Moran is the principle character who returns to her hometown of Whisper Beach after a 12 year absence in which she has tried to reinvent herself after a series of traumas and turbulence in her early life. Now 30, Vanessa wants to get out of town scot free and start a vacation. A series of revelations make that proposition more and more difficult. Pacing can be a tad slow.

Argh. This was going to be a so-so rating until the very end. I clicked back and forth to be really sure that actually was the end...and it was. Nothing was resolved or solved, and if this is supposed to be women's fiction, it should be about her journey. I just didn't think there was any emotional traveling. I also felt like it suffered from white-room/blurred-face syndrome: zero descriptions.
