Representaion During Books Flirting With Pete
OK, can I just say that I cannot wait until I finish writing my thesis (which I should be working on right now but cannot focus.... I am so tired, but can't sleep). Anyway, back to my review.I am a Barbara Delinsky fan for life!!!! She is right up there with Bernice L. McFadden.
If you like mystery, intrigue, drama, humor, sorrow, and hope all rolled into one book, well this is your book. I read this book in two days. Should I mention my newborn son was only two months old and I was working on my thesis? Yes, that's just how good this book is. In case you are wondering, I had NO help caring for my son except my husband and he is a very healthy and happy baby.
But I HIGHLY recommend this book. Blindly selecting books off of the library shelves definitely have their rewards, and this was one of them!!!!!
I cannot wait until May 15, 2010 (when I graduate). I will be heading straight to the library that very next week grabbing me some Barbara Delinsky books, and a few others that are on my Must Read list!
Now, if I can just finish my thesis.

What a page turner...I read it in one day as it was impossible to put downPrepare to skip meals and not want to do anything else but read this one. The story will grab you from the very first page and won't let you go until you've turned the final page.There are some reviews that don't give this novel justice and I feel it must be because they don't understand the family dynamics that are presented on these pages. I could relate to these characters, have experienced and witnessed much of whatDifficult to rate It was certainly a fantasy on several levels...the heroine inheriting a gorgeous home in a prime Boston neighborhood with a hunky gardener and maid who's an amazing cook -and taxes all paid for. The writing is engaging and pulls you along. I had sympathy for Jenny and wanted her to find a way out of her problem.Here are the things I didn't like about it: The resolution of a subplot was w-a-a-y too drawn out for me, and the resolution of the main plot was a disappointing deus ex

So this was just ok for me. Things I liked about it: Jenny's story (flirting with Pete) in the book, Dan's part in both the story and the book, how the author wrapped everything up in the end (very emotional at one part of it). Dislikes? I REALLY didn't like Casey. Being the main character, I feel like I should at least like her, but I didn't; she was kind of annoying. I didn't like how they kept emphasizing that Jordan was the gardener but then tried slipping it in there that's it's not a big
It kind of reminded me of TV shows with an A story and a B story that complement each other. Note: The book does contain sex outside of marriage. The descriptions are not graphic but there is more description than implication. A networking acquaintance gave me this book in a box of books. Warning: Spoilers May Ensue--Read at your own discretion.The story alternates between a past event: MaryJane "Jenny" Clyde, her father Darden Clyde, and Pete--and a present event: Cassandra "Casey" Ellis, her
Interesting story format between 2 different interlinked family stories. I was not sure about the title of the book --though not sure what I would have called it instead. A nice read.
Main character, Casey, was flat and one dimensional. Delinsky tried to give her depth, but there was still something flat and one dimensional about the writing. Just didn't much connect with her except in the beginning scenes when she was talking with her Mom. I thought those were quite creative.Jordon, similar to Pete, was too perfect.Before I get into the spoiler, I will say this book was a little hard to rate because what I most didn't like about it ended up having a legitimate reason for
