Kathryn Smith is hit or miss for me. I really like the "reunited lovers" plot device, and I think Smith did a good job with it here. It was easy to see why both parties felt they were the ones who got abandoned. I really liked that Jack never stopped loving Sadie, and had no problem admitting it. He no longer trusted her, but he still loved her. Though I had issues with both main protagonists, they weren't enough to detract from my overall enjoyment. Yes, I became frustrated by their actions at times. But more, I was swept up in their rekindled romance, waiting to see when they'd finally realize what we as the reader knew all along - they were meant to be.
