In this book there were moments that I greatly enjoyed the story that was taking place, but in other places there were moments were you are sickened by the story that is being told. Eileen Fulton knows the underlying world of Soap Operas because she had worked on one for almost 40ish years before "As The World Turns" was cancelled on CBS. I was hoping to get more of the reality of the behind the scenes from her in this book, but instead I got this overly tragic story. One of the stories, without giving too much away, is truly disgusting. It was very hard to read those particular scenes. If you pick up the book you won't question which scenes I am talking about.
Some of the characters do not seem to be fully developed here either. There are so many subplots that could have been developed differently, but never seem to get off the ground much. One of these is in the character of Jade Savage. She never seems to be fully developed during the course of the story. Then one character that seems very important at the beginning isn't mentioned for the great majority of the book until the "epilogue". I wish Eileen Fulton would have had less characters with more of a direct focus of where they were going in the story.
I have to state this was probably one of the harder books to get through because the story wasn't one that was compelling. I am glad, however, that it is finally off my to-be-read shelf in real life.
