I found this book to be high-school-ish, and kind of annoying. Within the first chapter (or maybe two) Joan, the main character, has a flash in her mind of a newspaper article....something she's just making up in her mind.
Then, when a handsome Dr. moves in next door, she and her older sister (who's married and pregnant) decided to create a competition between Joan and the youngest sister to see who can snag a date with him first! It's very childish...the older sister actually googles and prints pages of flirting techniques to give to Joan...how/when to flip her hair....not to get too close to him (within the hoola hoop)!
Just when I thought the book might actually pick up the pace and become a little more adult, the author completely switches modes and decides to make it all about religion!
I'm not sure I'll try another Virginia Smith book....this was my first, and I'm glad it was FREE!
