Review: Not your typical romance novel
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 03 13, 2014
I have read hundreds of romance books of all kinds, and C. J. Carmichael takes a novel approach, giving it a bit of a Danielle Steel feel.  In Good Together, the author spends a lot of time on character development of not just the main character, Mattie Carrigan, but also of twin daughters Wren and Portia as well as her longtime neighbour, Nat Diamond.  Many women will identify with Mattie as she experiences the empty nest as her daughters leave for college, the breakdown of her marriage and then moving on and finding love again.  I felt that the author could have spent a little more time on Mattie's new relationship, and the plot twist at the end could have used a little more build up and development.  Otherwise, a great, emotional read.
