What a fabulous novel! The author seamlessly blends so many elements together: love, family, multi-layer relationships, resentment, loss of loved ones. Sections tore at my heart due to mislaid emotions causing hurt. Other sections strummed my heartstrings.

I have tried several times to read through The Exhibitionist. The characters did not catch my eye and actually were almost too unlikeable their thoughts and dialogs. The novel was slow, oh so slow moving. I did not feel sorry for the enablers that the artist Ray tortured with his narcissism. They each seek freedom from him but are so caught in the quagmire that has been allowed to grow over the years.
In my mind, The Exhibitionist is a very ugly novel. It sounded so very interesting,
Sweet and spicy fun story, easy to read and so enjoyable. Carla and Eamon are a great couple. Each is dealing with their own personal wishes and fears. As they travel and adventure together on the way to a wedding in Ireland, so many things become clear for them.
Rather long and drawn out and felt like there was no real story. I made it through 33% of the novel before I stopped and read the last three chapters. The sections with the mermaid story were good. It just got tiring to read through the rest.
Love finds a heart to fill in both wonderful and trying times. Trying times have struck both Noa and Zach. He has lost his company and she is losing her store. Finding each other is a blessing and a curse. If opposites really attract, then theirs would be a match made in heaven. A touching story of love at odds with personal demons.
