Cornelia Brown, an intelligent and witty college grad who's in her 30's, works as a coffee shop manager in Philadelphia because she hasn't quite figured out what to do with her life yet. In walks a handsome man named Martin - a man with a cool charm that Cornelia finds attractive. Martin is also a dad - an absent dad - who ends up with his 11-year-old daughter, Clare, because her bipolar mom has had a manic break. Begins the story of Cornelia, Martin and Clare. Teo, Cornelia's longtime friend from childhood ends up in the picture and he is a great help to both Clare and Cornelia. There are some surprising twists and turns in the story that hold you. I read this book after I read "Belong to Me" and it was helpful for me to understand the backgrounds of the characters. Sure wish I had read it in sequence because it flowed so smoothly. I really liked this book - maybe more than her 2nd novel - and I love de los Santos' writing style.
