Review: A "warm fuzzy" book
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 14, 2013
Another reviewer has gone into some detail telling the storyline of this book so I won't add anything to her review.  I will just say that I must love the book because in the short time I have had it I have already read it twice. When I finished reading the book (both times) I was left with a warm fuzzy feeling!One thing that struck me in the book was something I have observed in the real world and that is how if one isn't careful there is the tendency to "canonize" a deceased loved one.  You remember only the good things about them and even tend to exaggerate those things while completely forgetting the bad things about the deceased.  That is okay up to a point but when the loved one is placed on a pedestal (like Sam put his deceased wife on a pedestal) it is difficult for you to ever accept someone new in your life because he or she will never measure up.  If Sam would but give Sarah a chance he might find that not only does she equal his first wife, she far surpasses her.I totally agree with the reviewer who said that both Sam and Emma are great characters; in fact, they are two of the most likeable characters I have been privileged to read about.  They are the type people you would love to have living next door.  Fortunately, the author slowly develops their characters to the point that you feel you know them and the actions they take make sense.  I highly recommend this book.
