You would think so but instead you get caught up up in the silliness of her quest to find her husband a wife. Very conflicting.

The whole premise of her hatred seemed weak.

Hmmm.

I didn’t read her first one but this felt like too many ideas. And you know I love me some frilly magical realism dress shop!

You had me at “snort aloud funny”! I need some of that.

I’m glad that you seem to be on my side with this one. It means I’m not totally off base.

I often find myself at a loss with novels that left me uninspired to write a more lengthy review. This seems the perfect solution.
I’m reading a wonderful little novel right now: Lillian on Life. It’s snort aloud funny, and smart too. And the economy is tight and powerful.

I was definitely iffy about that one, and from your description, I’m iffy about this one, too. 🙁
