Title: A harlequin romance for the new age
Review: OK. I picked this up as a light weekend read, not expecting "War and Peace" but something fun.This book was as trite as a 1970s Harlequin romance. By the end of the first chapter, I had predicted the character development and plot twists to the very last page. The characters were horribly stereotypical and one-dimenensional. The "nice girl", the evil vengenful "psycho-girl", the "I've having an affair with a married man and want some permanence in my life, girl", the "torn between job vs family girl"..I could go on forever...The only thing that kept me reading to the end was to find out if my predictions panned out.Also any author who uses the word "frission" twice in 10 pages should be locked in a room and required to read Strunk's "Elements of Style" until they learn to write beyond a 10 grade level.All in all a waste of my time and the author's.
