SHIRLEY FORD'S REVIEWI always give honest reviews. The story is of Kit, a successful writer who returns to her hometown for one friend's wedding and several weeks later to be maid of honor at her best friend Anne's wedding. Anne tells Ben, her brother-in-law to be, that he is expected to dance with Kit, but even though they met years ago, he cannot remember her. Kit on the other hand remembers him well. She has been in love with him since she was a shy teenager, but he never seemed to notice her.Kit's difficult upbringing by an uncaring mother who told her she wasn't wanted, has led her to believe that no-one will ever love her. Even though her Aunt Mae took her into her home and her heart, she still feels unlovable. This turns Kit into a loud, noisy character hiding behind outrageous clothes, and getting into scrapes. She thinks it is what everyone expects of Krazy Kit Conner.The rest of the story is about Kit and Ben's feelings for one another. First one then the other makes a move, only to be rebuffed by the other. Their childish antics made me want to bang their heads together on occasions, which has its good side; I obviously got caught up in the characters. All turns out well in the end, which is a foregone conclusion. It is a light-hearted easy read. I think the book could do with another read through by the author, as there are a few words missing and some spelling mistakes, which interrupt the flow in places. But overall, I enjoyed it.Review Disclaimer: This book was provided free of charge in exchange for an honest review. The above review was not influenced in any way, including financial.
