Review: Not Your Grandmother's Romance!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Author C. Callinsky's new novel "Rear View Mirror"  is a contemporary romance novel, but that simple description belies its' value as a novel in some ways. Yes, this is a romance, but it goes beyond the typical romance with its humor and occasional poignant moments. I had a couple of `laugh-out-loud' incidents while reading this novel, interspersed with steady snickers. Again, it's not your typical romance but rather, a novel of young love, bad decisions, heartbreak, cross county trips, and finding answers to questions you didn't even know you had. I found myself completely sucked into the book and lost in the protagonist's world. And that is what a good book does, isn't it? It draws us in and we forget what is going on around us...did I feed the cats? They'll be okay for one more day, I'm sure..."Rear View Mirror" is that kind of book and my I want to share my discovery of it with all my friends whether they are "romance" readers or not. Simply put: This is more than a romance...it is just a darn funny and entertaining book. Period.Finally, I highly recommend it and will be on the lookout for future titles by C. Callinsky.
