Over all I enjoyed reading The Pier. Its theme appeals to women of all ages.  Betrayal, rebound relationships, the pride of a scorned woman, and choosing between two suitors are universal issues for women. When The Pier is published, I plan to add it to the reading list for the Literary circle in my in my high school English Literature class.  I believe that it will provide provocative discussions between adolescents beginning the journey down the rocky road of love. I particularly enjoyed the way the author provides enough evidence in the early chapters to assure that the reader identifies Toby as the antagonist; later flipping the script revealing that it is Dave, not Toby, who has hidden motives
