Is it a Risk Worth Taking?

Image
A Risk Worth Taking was recommended to me by my mother.   The author is the son of the famous author Rosamunde Pilcher. Synopsis: Dan has recently been downsized from his job.    He has moved his family to the suburbs of London.   His wife Jackie picks up the slack by getting a job with Rebecca Towelworth Designs.   Is there more going on with her job than meets the eye?   They have three children Josh, Nina, and Millie.   The girls hate their school and constantly complain to their father.   Meanwhile Josh spends most of his nights out at clubs and a low paying job.   All of the sudden Dan sees an article about a company looking for assistance in Women’s Weekly.   What happens when Dan decides to check out the company?   And how will this affect the family? My Thoughts:   I wish I could tell you that the son’s writing is as good as the mothers.    I was not impressed.   I had a hard time getting started with this novel.   I did not love the character of Dan.
