DESCRIPTION:
Not my fav. I really like the Carole Matthews books I have read up to this one I kept debating over whether to quit reading it or not, and wondering if this was maybe a first effort for the author before she found her footing? I gave it 2 stars because it wasn't written poorly, and it flowed well. While I really wasn't too in to the "magic" aspect (I don't generally care for surrealistic fiction, though many romances are borderline!), it worked all right I suppose. What really bothered me . Couldn't finish it jlrichar I only made it a quarter of the way through this book. In the first few chapters, the boyfriend character, Leo, drives drunk, shows up 2 hours late to his girlfriend's 30th birthday, passes out in her cake, can't tell her that he loves her even though he does, and then has sex with a stranger the same night Emma dumps him. He's even sober by the time he decides to sleep with another woman. I would have been willing to see what happened with his character, but Emma's mom and bes. "Worst book ever." according to Minh. If I could give this book a zero star I would. The most ridiculous plot and a heroine that I wanted to smack with a frying pan.
