I started smiling at the beginning of this cute, quirky story and grinned all the way through. Seabrook has given us some unique and believable characters. You'll laugh even as you want to pull your hair out as you watch Amanda's exasperation in dealing with her family. I couldn't help but fall in love with Amanda's grandparents. Her grandmother is eccentric and her grandfather is a conniving ghost; and they drive her to distraction.I admit, that I am always partial to a turn-around book and Amanda does indeed do an about face. In spite of being friends with Dane forever, Amanda is the ultimate Valentine's Grinch. When life and her family twist Amanda about in circles she discovered that the holiday isn't just about cards and chocolates. She realizes there might just be something more to Valentine's Day.This is a quick read that will make you smile and reinforce your belief in the power of love.
