Review: There are better ways to spend your time
Rating: 2 out of 5

The story begins with an interesting premise :  an incurably optimistic woman is hired to curate a collection of the mementos of lost loves.  The novella fails, however, on nearly every front.  The characters are flat cookie-cutters (handsome hero, evil-but-misunderstood mother), the writing is cliched, and the entire novel is utterly forgettable.  The only saving grace:  it's short.  And yet I still had to skim to finish it.
