review 1: 2.5 stars - this was pretty meh-nothing new, really. Most of the book didn't really go anywhere, and none of the characters were really fleshed out. They all had quirks, but none were explored; just mentioned and either resolved or left at that. I didn't think about the book when I wasn't reading it, and didn't rush to pick it up. But it was a quick, light read, which was exactly what I was looking for. I don't think I would read another by this author, though. Not sure I would recommend this one, because there was nothing really compelling.
review 2: Marian is trying to raise her kids and recover from a disastrous relationship. And she is trying to do it while starting a new business – a self-help bookstore and a website. There is a nice irony in this n... moreovel – two girls selling books about great relationships while stumbling around in the reality of trying to make them actually work in real life. The characters are flawed and likeable - everyone knows a character like Belle, who drinks too much and consistently needs comfort after choosing another wildly inappropriate partner. Marian herself struggles to choose between her very attractive, but barely interested crush and the man who truly finds her fascinating. There is also a lot of good-humored wisdom in the story. It’s a chronicle of the ups and downs of starting a new business – a great parallel with the stomach churning ride of a new relationship. Clark keeps it light and fresh and despite its honesty, the story is never depressing, only refreshing and hopeful. less
