I like to read this kind of books when I'm on vacation or stressed, because I don't need my brain fully funtional to enjoy them. I wasn't expected a very complicated story or anything. I wanted to read a nice love story, a bit spicy and funny, with characters I like... Until There Was You fullfied those tasks... more or less. 
 I enjoyed the story, the dog, the German background and the main character partially. What I didn't like at all (almost) was the male character. He got me on my nerves with his I-don't-remember-teen-years-very-well and high-school-is-a-blur. I couldn't believe his interest in Posey. He was still in love with his deceased wife, for god's sake (even if she didn't love him anymore). What was Posey for him? A replacement? I wasn't able to feel as trueful and sincere his love for Posey as it was supposed to be... That was a big failure in this book. 
 Sadly I couldn't care less about the rest of the character: parents, cousin, brother, friends, though the brother-in-law was kind of funny, but excesive and overacted. The side story about her adoption and her biological mother, well, didn't get me interested either... although the whole thing with the house was beautiful, but painfully predictable xD 
 Until There Was You was a good book for the vacation. I liked Kristan Higgins' style and in spite of the male character the story got me enough interested to want to read more from this author :)
