Amy Dodge owner of a West Highland White Terrier named Carlie and author of the bestselling childrens book series, Run, Carlie, Run! has a dilemma. She has a major case of writers block. All she can think about is how different life is from what her plans were when she optimistically moved to New York from Colorado over 10 years ago. Shes divorced, she still hasnt started writing the next Great American Novel and every guy she dates she compares unrealistically to the dashing (but fictional) Scottish explorer staring in her Carlie books. Now Carlie is offered a starring role in her own television show and Amys world takes a surreal turn.
Soon Amy finds herself getting cropped out of Carlies many photo opportunities and she cant get the image of her Scottish explorer out of her head. Plus the city she once loved begins to lose its appeal. Amy must figure out what needs to happen in order to change her life and take her and Carlie exactly where they need to be.
I completely judged this book by its super cute cover and was a little let down with the results. The story just didnt catch my interest and I almost didnt finish the book. The story is told in three voices; Amy, Carlie and Robert Maguire (the fictional Scottish explorer). In my opinion it would have been better off with just Amys and possibly Carlies but with Roberts thrown in it just didnt work for me and I cant exactly pinpoint why. I did however like the way the book ended and consider it the only thing that saved the book from being too bad.
