This book reminds me of Sarah, Plain and Tall. I've never read the books (just watched the movies as a kid), this book definitely has that feel though. The main character is named Mary, so it's basically Mary, Plain and Tall, but I'm not sure about Mary's height, so it might be Mary, Plain and Short.

This book is really sweet. The main characters are really nice people who slowly fall in love with each other over the course of the book. I'll definitely read more by this author. ( )

I really wanted ot rate this higher because I love a plain/unattractive heroine, and there was soooo much set-up for good angst, but everything just moved too, I dunno, smoothly. It sort of drifted from one plot point to the next with little friction or build-up or climax. I mean, when Dave offhandedly mentions that he is looking forward to announcing they're expecting, I scanned every page back to the beginning looking for the part where Mary told him. Talk about anti-climactic! I guess I was just hoping for more angst and drama, where this is just a mild, sweet book. (2.5 stars) ( )

This was okay but just that. The writing was very bare bones and the story wasn't very exciting. ( )

Mary and David, this is such an amazing story. ( )
