Aaauuugh! Some of Shari's bad judgment is excused in a unique way (Olivia Joules handled the same situation much differently) but not why she sleeps with a guy she just met, lets him move in, then goes to England with him as soon as she can get a rush passport. I'm a hopeless Anglophile (I put on a Lush hair treatment & ate Jaffa Cakes while I read this book), but still!

I meant to read for Chemistry today but this book was so good I couldn't stop reading it. The story of Shari, a linguist stuck in PhD dissertation hell, is funny, smart and engrosing. Well-written with an unexpected ending which could have been elaborated a bit further.

I will admit that I skimmed through a few pages here and there, overall an OK read.

Started out slow and a little dull but picked up at the 100 page mark where I would normally give up and move on.
I really enjoyed Shari's trip to London and Abbey Road. :o) The supporting characters were very interesting as well. I thought things were left hanging with Shari's mother and Owen's father and unfortunately Owen really didn't develop into a three dimensional character. Shari's Aunt Dot was entertaining as well as the scenes involving the funeral of the skunk.
