First book by the author. Predictable plot and HATED the ending. After poor lost girl gains independence and confidence and finds man of her dreams becomes hausfrau and loses independence when marries same man. SUCKY ENDING. STUPID! ( )

This book starts with a feeling of compassion that leads to a lie of omission and starts the drama of Jake and Maggie. The side characters: Tim, Maggie's son, Gina who paid for Maggie's "makeover", and a host of others, not to mention Dr. Golding himself whose heart attack and hospital stay allowed this to take place, fill out the cast of a wonderful novel about love. Jake's last session of pretending he is Dr. Golding is a riot of characters! This is a book full of beauty and laughing, despite the despair. ( )

Maggie goes to a therapist and unknowingly unburdens herself to the contractor. ( )

Linda Nichols charming debut book was a joy to read. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive". "An accidental therapy session is the catalyst for Linda Nichol's winsome, witty, irresistible debut novel - a love story about two people who don't realize they're made for each other until it's almost too late."

predictable, cute, cop out ending..... ( )
