Flawless. Everything you’d expect from Kristan Higgins. Love, laughter, screwed up people, second chances and don’t forget the wicked humor. ( )

This book was sweet, and charming, and quick. Because sometimes, what I really want is something mindless, where I know there is a HEA, and no vampires or aliens.

Odd, I know.

Parker's rich, but she's down to earth, and she's a famous children's author who just finished her ongoing series that she hates. And then her father loses the family fortune, including her trust fund and her son's trust fund, and her house.

So, good things first. I really liked James and Parker's chain-smoking sexpot great-aunt (I think it's her great-aunt. I returned the book to the library already and can't check).

Not so good things. Parker annoyed me. A lot. Her inner arguments with the Holy Rollers started off quirky and became irksome. She also waffled personality-wise all over the board. And had about as much common sense as you'd expect in a spoiled rich kid.

(Actually, I'm noticing this is a writing tool of Higgins - inner monologues of the heroines that make me roll my eyes.)

Fun, fluffy, not my favorite Higgins. ( )

One of her better ones. Almost a sequel to a previous book, but with only peripheral overlap of characters, so it's not an exclusionary sequel. ( )

4.5 stars. As with most of Kristan Higgins' novels, Somebody to Love is full of entertaining and quirky characters, witty dialogue and an adorable dog and child. But there is more depth and an underlying seriousness to Somebody to Love that her other romances lack. It makes for a compelling romance that teaches the value of friendship, loyalty, forgiveness and most important, second chances.

Well, it really was kind of predictable and all... But I did like it a lot, aaaand it made me cry (but that's probably just because my life is so pathetic...) ( )
