I’m not generally into Romance Novels but I do enjoy a good bodice ripper once in a while. With them you can just skip from good part to good part because who cares about happens in between the good parts. The whole idea of the book is the good parts. Finding them embedded in the text is kind of like an Easter egg hunt.

I’ve heard about May December romances but this book is about an August November romance. It doesn’t last very long, everybody is very hopeful and encouraging but it will end tragically and publically in one day. Each will spend the rest of their days wondering “what if.” Each will return to their loving families. Who knows what will happen with them.

If you like unlikely pairings between a strong character with demonstrated integrity who fell blindly in love with someone who just doesn’t quite measure up (this used to be known as “not a good match) I recommend this book to you!

I give the book four stars for drama, no stars for the good parts.
