Around again Book

It was a good book but not a great book. The back and forth between the present and the past was a little jerky and although I didn't have any trouble keeping track of which scenes went with which timer period, the transitions were a little too abrupt. A reader could easily skip the middle chapters and not lose the thread and still enjoy the ending. The end was not as trite as I was expecting but not as wonderful as I could have hoped. The author seemed to take the easy exit rather than a more impactful conclusion. It would be a good beach read or bathtub book.
