I've been reading some dark and disturbing books lately, so I needed a change of pace. The Pollyanna Plan was perfect. I must admit that I got this Kindle book because I loved the title (being a big fan of the Pollyanna book and movie). Our heroine, Emma Beckett, has created a safe but unfulfilling workaholic life in London. After the death of her father and her mother's remarriage, Emma has built walls around her heart and distanced herself from her family. But her secure future falls apart when she loses her job and her fiance in one really bad week. Her best friend, Alice, convinces her that it's time for a change of tactics. It's time for this cynical realist to become an optimist and open herself up to new experiences. It is in this frame of mind that Emma meets Will Ballard, a handsome young man who is struggling with his own personal setbacks. Sparks fly even as Will tries to resist Emma's newfound charm. I loved this romantic love story and finished it in one day.
