This is only my second Wendy Markham book, but I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. Her books are fun, light reads that give a reader engaging characters, everyday family struggles, lots of fun and lovin’, and always a bit of the paranormal thrown in to make everything really interesting.
Meg is a Broadway actress and is at the beginning of the end of her career, losing roles to younger actresses. Her daughter has gone the way of the Goth, becoming a child she no longer recognize...more

I loved the basic premise of the story, but the present tense style of delivery really knocked me out of the story. After awhile I could ignore it, then wham, it'd hit me again. Characters were portrayed well and the story had enough humor to keep me smiling, but that tense issue really took some pleasure points away.
I just love Wendy Markham's style of writing. It's such a quick read, and I love how she writes from both the female and male perspective in the story. I usually finish her books in about 2 days. Reads like a hallmark movie...but FUN.

Review
Loved reading this book so steamy when Meg and Sam finally met after so much time has passed since high school. Gets really steamy when they finally get together.
Not my favorite Wendy Markham book. Predictable story with predictable ending.
very quick read, sweet and romantic
I liked it. (:
A quick, fun read.
Not a bad story but her habit of writing in the first person present was a bit annoying. In the end I just breezed over that style decision and focused on the story not the prose style.
Way too fluffy for me. As usual, I became annoyed with the characters and the extremely predictable outcome. Just an "OK" break from the more intelligent reading I prefer.
