Love Redesigned was a pleasant surprise for me. I typically go into reading romance novels expecting to be disappointed, at least a little bit, but this work by Jo Iles was a mostly realistic example of how most relationships are littered with miscommunication and a dash of dysfunction. Another unique feature of this story which separates it from the cookie cutter romance is that you see half of the book from the male characters point of view and half of it from the woman's perspective. These characters, their relationships, and their mistakes all seemed directly out of real life. Additionally, the young son Harry is portrayed like an actual child; some authors make the mistake of having child characters that end up sounding just like the adults. Lastly, there was enough drama and emotional damage to keep the story interesting without so much of it that the novel came off like a cheesy soap opera.
