My Rating: 3.2
Elsie meets the love of her life and within weeks, they elope. Nine days later, he is hit by a truck and killed. None of his family or friends even know that Elsie existed.
I have read several books by this author:
and I loved them all. I realized that this book was written previously when the author seemed to be in to lighter books but since I enjoyed One True Loves (which was also written previously and lighter), I thought I would give it a try. Unfortunately this book didn't work for me. It felt that the plot line was too contrived and fluffy and none of the characters had any depth. I think I will stick to her more current books when she seems to have taken her writing up a notch.

I have read several books by this author:
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
- Daisy Jones and The Six
- One True Loves (which I knew would be lighter than the above two)
