This book had so many cliches that it almost made me quit reading before I got very far into it.  The beginning was full of short, choppy sentences that I found irritating while I was trying to get into the story.There were also some things that could easily have been left out.  What was the deal with the doctor?  Ninna (strange name too) called her doctor and asked for the doctor to call back ASAP.  The doctor never called and there was one mention of that fact but that was it.  Why even have that part in the story?Because the dog used the word, naive, he was an English major? I didn't realize that was a word few people were supposed to know. And the author used heritage as an adjective, which it isn't.  The sentence was, "There was her house, old, heritage, small, surrounded by derelict and other equally uninspiring houses." That doesn't even make sense. Also the past tense of bite is bitten, not bit.  I think this author needs to go back to English class.  This would've had lots of red marks on it in any of the writing or English classes I ever took. At one point Ninna asked Stuart if there was a problem with break-ins at the animal clinic.  Then he "shot her a frustrated look."  Why?  That doesn't even fit the situation.The story was somewhat cute but there were too many glaring errors for me to enjoy it.  I would pass on others by this author.
