This one sucked me in, and hard, I'd give it 4.5 stars. I strongly enjoy novels with deep character development, and this focuses on a core group of adults. This title made me think, made me wonder about motivations and desires and the ability to really change who we are. When a title really reaches me, that is one of my favorite reading experiences. Basically, a man wants a wife, so he advertises for one in a paper. He finds one, yet everything may not be as it seems. Regrets, wanting to make peace, and acceptance are strong themes in this title. If you read it, may you come away slightly changed, as I was.
