You know, sometimes you just need a feel-good story. One that you know is extremely improbable, but still makes you laugh and sort of wish it could be true. Such is the case with A Good-Lookin' Man. The romance is sweet and moves at an impossibly fast pace that you know doesn't happen in real life. But it's just so cute, that you don't care about the craziness of it all.The characters are quirky and the dialog borders on hilarity at times, but it just fits the book. Marcia wrote it just as a story to make herself laugh and feel happy. She agrees that it is corny, but so what? Corny is fine sometimes. Escapism can be great when life is hectic and stressful.I found myself laughing and groaning at the same time sometimes! You just have to read it to understand. Poor Fairlee is constantly talking to herself....aloud, mind you....and Lash just happens to be around when she says the darnedest of things.I love Aunt Pearl and Uncle Ben. Aunt Pearl loves to cook and Uncle Ben is a jokester. Just the kind of people you'd love to be around. They love Fairlee unconditionally even though she's got a lot of quirks. I mean who loves to iron? She's gotta be a little nuts, right?! And they always want the very best for her.This is definitely a book to read when you are feeling low. It will cheer you up and make you smile.This review first appeared on my blog Christy's Cozy Corners.
