As fluffy chick lit, this book was pretty good. I'm having trouble thinking of very much to say about it though. It was almost so fluffy that there wasn't much substance to it.
Overall, I did actually like this book. It was fun and pretty cute. It was a nice quick read. It would be a good beach book or something to read on a rainy day.
I enjoyed the ending even though it tied everything up in one big happy package. I liked that Parker stayed in Greece and that Claire got back together with her husband.
It was completely unbelievable though. Seriously, who has enough money to be able to spend that many months in Greece for goodness sake? It must be nice. Or if you have enough money, who can take that much time off work?
I'm not generally a fan of books that flip around between different narrators. It can make them hard to follow and tough to remember whose point of view the story is being told from. Sometimes I found myself flipping back to the beginning of the chapter to see who it was talking.
What did everyone else think?
I agree with your assessment. The book was a fun quick read that I would take to the beach or use on a rainy day. It wasn't deep but still enjoyable.
I too found it a bit hard to buy the whole "spend a summer in Greece" thing since I have traveled a bit myself and it costs a lot. Not to mention the whole passport/visa issue...don't know the specifics but imagine you have to get a visa renewal to spend that much time there.
I did like the chapters by other characters but I think that just depends on the person. Some people don't like it and some do.
