I am a sucker for romantic comedies as far as movies go, so when I saw that this one was categorized as a romantic comedy, I was all for giving it a try. I'm not really glad I did. I had been reading a lot of young adult supernatural stuff and was thinking this would be a good change of pace.When I first began reading this book, I was a little bored. The story line was far fetched and it seemed to take a long time to get me interested. In fact, I debated about not finishing it, but I didn't quit for two reasons. Number one, I don't think it is fair to review a book that I didn't finish. Number two, I am kind of OCD about quitting a book. lol I'm scared I will miss out on something I guess. I don't really think I would have missed anything had I quit this book before finishing it. However, I would have given it like one star which it doesn't deserve.There were only a few places in the book where I felt like I didn't want to put it down and that is how I determine how good a book actually is. Once I got to the end I realized I had enjoyed the book, but it did not deliver like I had expected. I did not particularly "like" mara. That could have been part of the reason I didn't like the book as well as I could have. I didn't understand her need for a break from her life. Well, I understand a woman needing a break, but the break she was wanting was too extreme and asking too much of her husband. I don't want to spoil the end of the book so that is all I will say.Anyway, with all the great books out there today, this isn't a book I would really recommend. But if you do choose to read it, I don't think you will be disappointed.
