Chicklit for sure, but possessed of more heft than is usual in the genre when it explores the idea of just how difficult it is for humans to understand each other.
The words "Chick Lit" practically drool off this one. I mean, seriously, the guy's name is Magnus, for God's sake - you didn't have to study Latin to get that one. Cute, not a bad read. Lots of giggling.
With a job like mine, how could I not read this book? I'll give the author credit--the teaching stuff was decent enough. Of course, these books always have to have some teacher-student romance, which means things are a little too predictable. I can see why this one keeps making its way onto the bargain book table.
I was intrigued by the description of the story and found that I really liked all the characters in this book. My only quibble is that the story wrapped up too quickly. All the action seems to have happened over a short period of time and I didn't get to know the characters any better. I wanted to know more about what happened next to Kat and her son and her students. I liked the writing and will look for more from this author.
It was a decent book, not really what I was expecting, though. It wasn't poorly written and the characters were interesting enough...I just thought it could have been more. I felt sorry for Kat throughout the book as her life fell apart.
I started it and lost interest in the main character pretty quickly. I read through several chapters and then read the end. Not bad. May be a good beach reach.
I’m not rating it or adding it to my challenge numbers.
This is one book I wish I had borrowed from a friend or the library instead of purchasing. The jacket blurb is misleading and the conflict in the story changes too often and is resolved too quickly. Still, it was a pleasant read, but not an entirely satisfying one.
