Questions/ Predictions

A question i have about the book is; What is going to happen between Katie and Alex? I predict that they will fall in love and get married. They seem to be falling in love now. I have also been wondering if Katie will open up to Alex about her past? I predict that she will eventually but she will really have to know him and trust Alex before she does.

Chapter 9 and 10

In chapter 9 Katie goes to the beach with Alex and his kids. On the beach Katie and Alex start to talk about Alex's wife when he stops and apologizes for bringing her up. Katie assures him that it is ok and that it's good to talk about her. She gets him to tell her how they met. So far the book is very interesting and i cant wait to keep reading!

Characters

There are only 5 main characters so far. There is Katie who is quiet, content, and cautious. She doesn't want to make any mistakes. So she always thinks before everything she does and doesn't talk to many people. There is Jo who is bold, caring, and very knowledgeable. She is one of Katie's only friends and knows the most about Katie. Alex is sweet, protective,and hard working. He runs the store, takes care of two kids and is a friend to everyone. Katie and him are starting to like each other and he really cares for her. Kristin and Josh are Alex's children. Kristin really likes Katie and is never slow to say what she feels. Josh is more quiet but likes Katie. The author does a great job at developing these characters and makes the book so easy to picture.

Chapter 8

At the end of chapter 7 Alex gives Katie a bike. When chapter 8 starts Katie comes to the store and tries to return the bike. She didn't want to owe anyone anything. Alex explained to her that the bike was his wife's that passed away and Katie gave in and took it. After that Kristin asked Katie to come to the beach with them. Totally out of character, Katie said yes.

So Far

Right I'm at chapter 8. In chapter 6 and 7 Alex is starting to realize that he likes Katie the only thing holding him back is the fact that he doesn't really know her. He saw Katie play with an imaginary ring on her finger and it reminded him of the women when he was at CID. It was a tic that women who have been beaten by their husbands. This means that Katie was beaten by her husband and that what made her come to Southport. Thats all you really know about her past so there is still a lot of details that I want to find out. After reading this chapter I inffer that Katie will end up telling Alex more about her past. In chapter 7 it tells me what her old house looked like. It seemed nice but uncomfortable. Also Jo came over to Katie's house and she told Jo the whole story of her and her husband. And didn't leave out any details. This is a great book, I'm really enjoying it!

Ouestions/ Predictions

The book is great but im still confused what happened in Katie’s past. Also i am wondering if Katie and Alex will ever start dating or even get married. It also feels like there is something missing in the story. I predict that Kristin will enjoy the company of Katie and will always want to be together. This will bring Katie and Alex together.
