Liv Hetherington, a jaded wedding photographer, is visited by three ghosts of Valentine's Day in this playful spin on Dickens. An entertaining read.
Helpful Score: 1
It's hard to hide yourself away on Valentine's Day if you are a wedding photographer. It's hard not to drive away the lovely man who seems to think you are special when your history with lovely men is so wretched. And it's hard to remember the truth about your relationships when you are indulging in misery.
Liv is an interesting character, there's so much more to her than the plastic heroines of the last few chick-lits I've read. And the book is really sweet and reasonably thoughtful. I enjoyed it.

This was a really good book. I was leery at first but I couldn't put it down.
Ok book!!
After being dumped on Valentine's Day two years prior by Mike who left her for his ex-wife, Liv has no use for the holiday; except that she makes her living as a photographer and weddings (particularly romantic VD themed weddings) are her bread and butter.
Liv is reluctant to enter into any more romantic entanglements, despite the efforts of her friends and family. She never really meets anyone she likes until she runs into Drew. They go out a couple times, and through a series of misunderstandings, have difficulty trusting one another, and she won't give Drew the same second chance he afforded her when she misconstrues his intentions toward a former flame.
So it is off to not trusting. She is visited by the ghost of a former colleague who warns that she will be visited by 3 Valentines ghosts (just like a Christmas Carol). Each ghost provides insight - into her relationships past, present, and potentially future.
