Query: Did she even read the first book

Okay, I had some MAJOR problems with this book. It's over 20 years since the first book ended and Anne, Neely, and Lyon haven't aged a bit? They've regressed in age? Jennifer is now 7? And that's just the start of it.She may have been using a manuscript that Susann put together for a sequel but this falls WELL below the mark. It was a wholly unsatisfying read with an ending that made me go....WHAT? Some scenes were just not set up well enough and other scenes just fell flat on their face. Yes, it was nice to revisit these characters but when they aren't in the hands of a gifted storyteller like Susann then it's not worth the visit.
