I have made it a goal to at least read the first 3 chapters of any book before putting it down for good. I'm glad I stuck with it, because I feel in love with this book! You can see how it was going to end, but it had twists that were surprising. It was definitely worth reading! It was a good book and the story was interesting but I didnt like that there was sooo much narritive. I got lost in it a few times. All she did was say is this what marriage is... Once she found out that things with Peter werent quite right and realized how things could be the story did turn around. But I would have liked a more ellaberate ending... What happened after she saw Elliot again? Where did that leave her. At least and Epiloge or something. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
For Gwen Merchant, love has always been doled out in little packets - from her father, who buried himself in work after her mother's death; and from her husband, Peter, who's always been respectable and safe. But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull, invites himself back into Gwen's life with a surprising proposition, she suddenly starts questioning everything she's ever expected from love.

"Elliot, it turns out, is in need of a pretend wife, just for the weekend, in order to fulfill his dying mother’s last wish."
The story of pretend love turning out to be the real thing isn't new at all, and some of the twists are too timely. What saved it is Bridget Asher's keen, and un-Harlequin voice. I didn't know who Gwen was going to end up with. Maybe she would've played it safe and stayed with Peter. Maybe she would've gone to Elliot. Maybe it would have ended with Gwen finally 'discovering' who she is, and letting go of both of them. The point is, I didn't know, and I liked that. It started out dry but grew interesting. It was honest (without having to be insincere), and it was touching.
So, yes, I loved it more than I thought I would. This had no rustic virgins, virile heroes or gay friends. What it did have? Depth. Nonfluff. You've restored my faith in romances for a while, Bridget Asher. ( )
