The Guest List [Large Print]

This book was excellent! I truly felt a connection with the character Abby due to her insecurity. Although the ending was kind of predictible, the storyline flowed very nicely. This was my first Fern Michaels book and certainly won't be my last!

I was extremely pleased to learn that Fern Michaels' latest novel, Guest List, appeared on the New York Times best seller list. Congratuations to Ms. Michaels. Guest list is a great story about two sisters separated as youngsters and reunited as adults, along with some mystery and intrigue. It's guaranteed to hold your interest and keep you guessing.

I liked the element of suspense which is something new for Fern Michaels books. The characters were real, the situation realistic and the animals wonderful. I know this is going to be a best seller. All my friends are reading it and like it as much as I did. Thanks for a great summer time read.
