review 1: Katie Darby's life takes a turn that makes Murphy's Law seem auspicious by comparison. She catches her boyfriend, who happens to be her most important client, in bed with her best friend. At the same time, her home is ransacked and her beloved dog is missing. Higher Powers intervene and assign an angel, radio shock jock Julian Shaw, to help her cope. Julian is not only reluctant in his new role, he's barren of all human compassion and wholly unsuited to Katie's needs. But 24/7 exposure to her life arouses feelings he didn't know he was capable of experiencing. Fortunately for both of them, although he's an angel, he's not quite yet dead. I loved this book for many reasons. It took risks, and they paid off. Want to try writing a sex scene between a woman and an angel she ca... moren neither see nor touch? Ms. Orloff pulled it off. She also pulled off making God a woman and Albert Einstein one of Her case workers. Every scene is a delight. A steady tempo of perspective shifts keeps the tension high. FREUDIAN SLIP is foremost a romantic comedy. But readers bent on finding themes won't have far to look. There's enough in here on soul mates, the spiritual realm, and even cosmology to keep book groups up late talking. In fact, Ms. Orloff provides a list of suggested discussion questions at the end of the story. I admit I was hesitant to read FREUDIAN SLIP because both the publisher (Harlequin) and the cover suggest the book is for girls. It's for everybody. When you're finished reading it, give it to your husband or boyfriend; they'll love it too. And you'll both be able to say you beat Hollywood to the discovery.
review 2: Kind of a disappointment. I saw the cover and thought this was a straight contemporary, but it had elements of paranormal in it. Also, it was super cheesy and I had a hard time believing that Kate would want to spend the rest of her life with something she thought of as a ghost. I also wondered why Julian thought he had to stay in his spectral form to be with her. They lived in the same city. I just didn't get the motivation. less
