Review: Slow and corny

Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge fan of Susan's. I have read all of her books and usually enjoy them very much.While I appreciate that Isadora was on a journey, the book moved too slowly. I usually enjoy the level of detail that Susan includes, but there was too much of the mundane included (I don't need to know every tiny thing that happens during her work day, for example). I found that the dialogue was also drawn out and so much of it was way cheesier than in her usual writing.**Spoiler alertIt also wraps up way too tidily at the end (within 48 hours a man goes from not wanting to be in a relationship to wanting to get married and have babies... All over the course of dinner). It also leaves us hanging on what was the crux of most of the story line. How will Richard feel about his former fiancée hooking up with the man who may or may not be his father (another part of the story line that is never finished), a few days after she breaks off their engagement?If this was any other author, I wouldn't have even bothered finishing the book. Fingers crossed that Susan's other new books aren't like this.
