3.5 of 5 StarsThe Man Plan is a sweet romance story, with a touch of Holiday Spirit.  This is a book about finding love in unexpected places, and I enjoyed the story.Cora is a woman alone.  Her father recently passed away, her friends had coupled off, and she determines to find her own happy ending.  She embarks on a mission to find her mate, and her antics are entertaining and inventive.  Matt is Cora's neighbor, who befriends Cora as she begins her mission.  The pair fall into an easy friendship, but soon, that friendship starts to blossom into something more.  The problem is that Matt doesn't want a happy ending, the full commitment.The Man Plan really is a light-hearted story, but there are plenty of emotions to sympathize with.  Cora struggles with feeling alone and she is still grieving her father.  Matt's parents are horribly cruel to each other and affect his view on relationships.  I really like that Matt and Cora develop a strong friendship, they don't just fall in love.  Their relationship is based on their true natures, making the romance more believable.There is a touch of Holiday Spirit in this book.  Cora's plan is to be in a relationship by Christmas, so the resolution of the story centers around the Holidays.  With the holiday element, I found The Man Plan to be a wonderful book for this time of year.*I received this book in exchange for an honest review*
