I absolutely loved this book. Allie Larkin is truly a wonderful writer. I am extremely passionate about animals/dogs and she not only warmed my heart with a story about the loyalty of an animal, but also shares a story about the loyalty of the main character's relationships with humans. I highly recommend this book - no one could possibly be disappointed.

This was a great book, I had a smile on my face most of the time while I was reading it, it made me that happy! The characters and situations are so REAL - not like many books where Prince Charming and Cinderella fall in love and all those fantasy things happen - No, this is about how things happen in real life with real people. Not to mention, it was downright hilarious at times! I couldn't put it down, and cannot wait for another book by this author. I really recommend this to anyone who is considering it; you will not be disappointed!!!

I loved this story! I felt like I new the characters personally, the story flowed well and the description of the dogs antics are spot on! I have a big black dog and was reminded of those puppy days.

A quick, engrossing read. The drama and touches of humor never felt forced, and the genuine relationships between the characters will leave you recognizing your own family, friends, regrets, and redemptions. (I admit to being biased, having gone to school in the areas described in this tale, and I rejoiced at familiar road names and attitudes.) Might not be everyone's cup of tea - it helps if you have / have had your own four-legged furry friend(s) - but definitely struck a chord & I look forward to future work from this author.

A very special debut novel for this author! This novel was wonderful for dog owners and non-dog owners alike. Super witty with a fun and realistic storyline. Definitely chick-lit..and definitely worth the read.
