review 1: Isabel's friend thinks she should ask the cute guy in the deli out for coffee. A man who works in a deli was not exactly what she was aspiring to but she invited him anyway. On their coffee date she discovers that he is 15 years older than her, is divorced with two kids, and is a recovering alcoholic. She is certainly all that she doesn't need and yet they fall for each other. They lead a relatively happy life and have two children but then Michael suddenly dies leaving Isabel to find her way alone. She decides a man is what she needs and begins her search which has its humorous moments to say the least. She learns some important things along the way and sometimes surprising events are right around the corner.I was attracted to this book because I grew up in Montclai... morer and was looking forward to reading about familiar things. The cover put me off and I probably wouldn't have read the book if Montclair had not been in the title. It was a good read and I would certainly read The Little Black Dress which is Edelman's other book.
review 2: This book was okay. I liked the beginning where it flipped back and forth between present day and flash backs to how she and her husband met, fell in love, had kids, ect..... What I didn't like was how she reacted to her husbands death......It seemed she hardly grieved, aside from one scene where she breaks down. I guess everyone grieves in their own way, but he had barely been dead and she was already thinking about how she needed a new husband. less
