This is the first of Anne Rivers Siddons books I have read. The characters have depth. Anne shows that she understands a deeper side of human emotions and the ability of someone to be more than one person depending on the circumstances in which they find themselves. I can relate to this book.

This book, just like all of Ann Rivers Siddons books was great. I really felt for the main character in the book, and when she was happy I was happy, and when she was sad, I was sad. I really couldn't put the book down, and read it in one sitting. There was always something going on, and no boring parts in the book. I recomend it to anyone who likes this author. She's great.

I made the mistake of trying to read this as a "distraction" during finals week my sophmore year of college. In the end, my finals, my packing, and even sleeping became secondary to finishing "Fault Lines". Possibly, I was simply homesick for my own hills in Washington, but I fell in love with the forested California setting and the thought of running away from it all to hide in the forest. I cried at least three times, causing my roommate, who thought I was immune to emotion, to decide that I had finally gone off the deep end from stress. Later that summer, when I was coming to terms with breaking up with a boyfried who never quite was one, I was hearing, in the back of my head, "Be my same stars, Gavin," and it seemed that Merritt and TJ were splitting alongside Gavin and I.
I've been a fan of Anne Rivers Siddons ever since I stumbled across "Heartbreak Hotel" in the public library, but this has got to be the most engrossing book of hers that I've ever read. I read it again, when finals were over and I didn't have to deal with classes and my roommate, and I loved it just as much the second time. I don't often gush about books (or anything) but this definitely deserves it.
