review 1: This book was good but a little dry for my liking. I like a little more romance in my books and less background. This had more background. Its about Angela who was married for five years and her husband died in a auto accident. He had always told her if he died he would send her someone so she wouldn't be alone. She doesn't know if she believes this or not. It centers on her life in canada and her mom in england as they travel to greece. I think if you like a background book you will like this one
review 2: Angela’s husband, Jonathan, promised if something happened to him, he’ll send her a lover. Two years after his death, nothing happens and Angela feels like she’s an emotional wreck.Trying to cope with her misery, she ends up going on a trip to G... morereece with her over vivacious mother – Vivian, who’s although full of life, is actually afraid of dying, the antithesis of Angela. While in Greece, Angela meets two men she likes and wonders if Jonathan is being true to his word. But which one is the one? This is a chick-lit which reminded me at first of P.S I Love You. This is the first book of Carol Mason I read and I enjoyed her style of writing and her humour. Vivian adds a lot of wit to the story by being the innocently sweet mother who thinks her daughter insane for not enjoying life to the fullest. Angela’s somewhat sombre character who tries too hard to find a lover, thinking every men is sent her way by her dead husband. Although, she finds her happily ever after, there was not much story behind her relationship with the man she ultimately finds herself with. As a reader, I felt like I missed out on the chemistry with her ‘the one’. But the good writing and wit makes up for it. I’m glad for Mason’s Vivian who is actually the life of the book. I had the pleasure of meeting with Carol Mason during the SiWA conference in Surrey, BC (October) and she’s lovely with her wonderful British accent. Her books has all the entities a good read should have – humour, drama, tears and the suspense (of who she’ll ultimately end up with). We do see character development in both Angela and her mother in the end and also a much happier Angela. This is a good chick-lit for a cozy afternoon read. less
