Cute Story
I checked this book out from the library before I really knew what it was about (I liked the author's other books so I went for this one without knowing what it was about). When I got it home and read the back, I almost decided not to read it - the story line didn't seem like something I would like. I went ahead and started it and, wow! was I surprised. The book is amazing with really great characters and a really great plot. There are a lot of twists and turns and the author delves into the private lives of the characters in such a great way. I did think the ending was a little too rushed. I would liked another chapter or two so things didn't happen right on top of each other but more spread out, the way I think they would in real life. Cupid would be proud of this love story!

Loved This Book
This was my first book by this author. It was very enjoyable. I loved the relationship dynamics in this book. It was very realistic...like these situations could and do happen in real life. I will read more from this author.

Readers will enjoy this family drama
Merry Olsen is the last person anyone would assume be assigned a guardian to a preadolescent girl as everyone who knows the forever optimist affectionately call her ¿Ditzy¿. Yet her friend the late Charlie Ross did just that. Merry drives from her home in Minnesota to Oakley, Virginia to take charge of eleven years old Charlene, whom she never met before though she has no legal obligation to do so.------------------ The seemingly coldhearted lawyer Lee Oxford assumes Merry is in it for the large trust fund that he has insured is iron tight and used for Charlene. The bureaucratic state appointed ad litem caseworker June Inness thinks Merry is too ditzy for the child. The single dad next door Jack Mackinnon and his teenage twin sons think the Minnesotan needs to go home as she suffers from ¿suburbia allergy¿. However though she falls in love with Jack, the worse condemnation comes from Charlie who expects the outsider to leave just like her mother did except mommy dearest is back claiming love of her offspring with a court date to make her case.--------------------- Readers will enjoy this family drama starring a modern day DC area Mary Poppins as she bring merry cheer and love to one and all. Jack knows she has his heart beating and his sons think the northerner is the greatest. Whereas young Charlie has doubts about the enthusiasm and nurturing, she too is infected by the eternal cheerleading optimist. Though the youngsters at times sound too adult, fans will enjoy this upbeat contemporary tale.------------- Harriet Klausner
