Kate Meaney I will remember your character forever. I loved it if the pages in the book was filled with your story. In fact, when I reached chapter 12, I have already developed what would happen to you and how would you change the lives of Teresa Stanton, and Adrian. Instead I had to read roughly 150 pages of irrelevancy until I get to your story in the final two chapters.
Reading about Crawford, Dan, Scott, the vignettes, and mindless jibber jabber of Gavin was brutally boring. Needless to say a little more thought in developing Gavin's story in relation to Lisa and Kurt's would have made this section of the book far more interesting.
I have to admit, I liked how the book ended. It made total sense! I also got the author's sense of humor.

The Falls, GO Transit's summer service
Niagara Falls is a fun destination and a popular get away destination during the summer for Torontonians.
I have been to the Falls a few times, via QEW, driving past Oakville, Burlington, and St. Catherines. Each trip took a bit longer than the suggested two hours due to high volume of traffic.
When GO transit Tweet appeared in my feed telling about a direct service, naturally I became very interested to use it.
A few good points: it beats the weekend traffic, and it is direct (eliminates the transfer to the bus at Burlington) One not so good point: it is limited to a few times a day on weekends between June 28-Sept. 2.
I understand that the service makes sense when there is demand for it.
In fact the Niagara Falls bus service offered by Niagara Parks also runs full service during June 28-Sept. 2. providing convenient transport to attractions around the Falls, adult $7; child $4 for 24-hour pass. This makes June-Sept the best time of the year to travel to Niagara Falls.

We missed the outbound train on Saturday August 24. On weekends there are three outbound direct trains; connecting Toronto's Union St. to Niagara Falls' Via St. The departure times are at 9:00 am, 16:15 pm, and 20:10 pm. We took the train to the Burlington GO station and transferred to the bus to Niagara Falls. The trip took close to three hours! But coming back we took the 7:20 PM direct train to Toronto Union station. The trip took 2:30 hours. The inbound direct trains are at 8:00 am, 11:30 am, 19:20 pm, and 22:30 pm. The train stops at Exhibition, Port Credit, Oakville, Burlington, St. Catherines, and Niagara Falls. There are designated compartments with bike storage.Only a few more wknds left to ride our #GOseasonal #NiagaraFalls and #Barrie weekend trains http://t.co/E2mYme3RQW & http://t.co/puuyMhDQOa
