This was a GREAT read! I started it late last night & just had to finish it today. It was one of those stories that stick with you for a while. It certainly made me remember to appreciate my husband.

This is a story about a woman who wants to change her man- she is tired of him and all his antics.

She feeds him a magic potion and he becomes the man of her "dreams" until it starts to feel like a nightmare. Then she wants her old "man" back!

After six years, Elizabeth Baskin's marriage has lost it's magic. Her husband, Roger, is just not interested in her anymore. So, she consults a celebrity doctor who prescribes a packet of herbs to be mixed in Roger's orange juice. But instead of rekindling her romance with Roger, she finds herself stuck with a man she hardly recognizes and doesn't even like. Suddenly, Elizabeth is breaking into the doctor's office and running from the law, all in an attempt to restore Roger into his old imperfect self.

This was a fun book with the usual Jane Heller humor. My rating: 4 Stars.

This book is a silly but fun read. It's the perfect antidote after you've read a serious book like I did. I just finished a Jodi Picoult novel and needed something light like junk food and this is it~would be a perfect beach or poolside read!

Fun story. A case of be-careful-what-you-wish-for.
