I read this book only because I'd read another book by the author (Fools Rush In) that I thought was just delightful (so much that the unrealistic parts didn't bother me - and usually would in most other books). I hoped I was going to get something similar here, romance, comedy, rich characters, but it really was not the same kind of book. That's not a bad thing, just not what I was hoping for. The story was more cliche and the characters not as engaging.There are two 'books' combined here, the first tells the mother's own love story and the second brings us to the daughter's love story. I enjoyed the mother's own most. It was more realistic, and I thought from the male's point of view, the story was also more believable and more engaging. I felt that I forced myself to finish the second book 'just because' they were linked by some of the same characters. I just didn't get into it the same way as the first book.I would continue to check out anything by this author and I do recommend the book. And I'd add, if this one doesn't engage you 100%, don't let that stop you from getting another book by this author.
