Review: Could Not Put It Down
Rating: 5 out of 5

The two main characters, Cory and Jake, have strong, believable personalities.  I was pulling for both of them through out the book.  They are drawn together by the last will of Aunt Tillie who involves them in a scheme to remodel an old Victorian home.  Her hope is that during the time it takes to refurbish the old home they will rekindle their high school attraction for each other. It seems that Aunt Tillie cannot resist the opportunity to match make even though she knows she will probably not live to see if her inclinations were correct.I've remodeled more than fifty houses, and could well empathize with both Cory and Jake as they worked to restore the old Victorian. It was fun to know exactly what they were dealing with as they accomplished each worrisome remodeling element.I found the book heartwarming from beginning to end.  In fact, once I started the book, I couldn't make myself put it down.  My poor family got takeout that evening for supper.  I plan to read every book by Janet Wellington based on the wonderful experience I got from reading this one.
