review 1: The first thing I'm going to say is that I didn't finish this book. I got to about 50% and then I need to skip over a bunch of parts. This book is essentially a typical romance novel with a ghost inserted into it. The ghost is the only part that is interesting, actually. Who leaves their family to become a monk? I think I've heard all kinds of reasons why people divorce but never that one. This whole book really irritated me, which is why I stopped reading it.
review 2: I loved all the unique characters in this book. I'm trying to imagine a life saddled with a mother AND an ex mother-in-law who lived with me and can only imagine it'd be Hell. ;) Lottie was so refreshing! It was like Weger sat down and said to herself "What hasn't been done yet?" and proceeded t... moreo write just that. Great job.The only thing that kept me from giving this book 5 stars was the sense of time. Tucker Highsmith has a mustache and I kept picturing Tom Selleck. There is talk of sweatbands and jogging. Justine smokes - not that people don't smoke in this day and age, but I just never see it written about. It was just very difficult to imagine when this story takes place. Is it the 70's, 80's, 90's? I was pretty certain it wasn't the 21st century. Just threw me a bit as I read. If you don't mind the setting being a bit of a mystery, then the rest of the story will totally draw you in. less
