Review: Enjoyable Reading, Not As Much Comedy as Drama For Me
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was glued to the pages while reading Chasing Broadway and was continually surprised by that fact to be honest since this was not my usual reading fare.While I was enthralled by the story of Liz/Beau/Richard and frustrated with the on/off relationships, each man in her life had strengths and weaknesses for her.  The story was richly detailed and the three main characters were perfect for their parts although even with several pages dedicated to detailed Richard throughout the book I never felt that I really knew him very well as I did with Liz and Beau but that may have been purposeful considering the ending.So why 4 Stars instead of 5?  We have a book that is greatly detailed and then the ending seemed to rush up and overwhelm me and while I was satisfied with the ending overall it left me with many questions that did not really affect the outcome of the plot but my mind hates subplots that build up and then are supposed to be resolved in a few sentences when the setup was much more detailed.She does an excellent job of jerking the reader back and forth guessing which way the final relationship would fall and the ending was really a surprise and not at all anything I might have expected but the final scene still left me with questions about certain details.The short story PANDORA'S BOXES: A Short Ghost Story thrown in at the end of this book was a quick enjoyable story that left you with a good feeling and the only thing that caught my attention was the story was about 50/50 story/very detailed descriptions.Bottom Line:  I loved the book, I totally connected with the characters, kept guessing the ending and was always wrong, beginning 80% full of details and the last 20% felt rushed and left me with questions (which I can't mention since they would be spoilers)  even though the ending of the romantic plot was satisfying.  4 Stars
