I'm happy to say this book didn't disappoint, I couldn't put it down and I got through this book real quickly.
Although the story is very far fetched with the story centering on there being a girl who with the aid of a dye job on her hair is now passing herself off as Beverly Gray, (even to the point that she tries to fool Beverly's fiance Larry also.)
The soap opera comparisons to this book to what you would expect to see on TV on Days of Our Lives is great. The fact that it was written in 1946 amazing. The author Clair Blank was definitely one talented lady.
Another factor that I enjoyed in reading this book was that it gives you a lot more information about Beverly's Family as it discusses how Beverly's Grandmother ran away from her home in England to live in the United States.
For Lenora Whitehill fans this book is a must to read as Michael McKay admits his feelings to Lenora as he asks her if she is going to marry British Airforce Pilot Terry. Lenora states that she isn;t in love with Terry.
I must say I think I am a bigger Michael then Terry fan here as the two love rivals try to grab Lenora's attention.
