I wonder the same thing, is there a deep down reason they are choosing unavailable men. If you have an address in the US when you're here, I'd be happy to mail Something Like Beautiful to you.

It's almost as though, by doing this, she can avoid a real relationship.<BR/><BR/>Kristen, I hope that you like it!<BR/><BR/>Carrie K, I love what you said about books needing to be read at the right time! Well said.<BR/><BR/>Staci, she has a lot of issues, that's for sure. Chicago was fun! <BR/><BR/>Petunia, on the one hand I'm curious too, on the other, I'm not crazy about what I percieve as her writing style....she has trouble getting to the point, but the book does have good reviews.<BR/><BR/>J.Danger, totally. In my opinion, she's avoiding having a real relationship, it's sort of a cop-out.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-74961439124886492052009-01-27T23:44:00.000-06:002009-01-27T23:44:00.000-06:00Wow.

I'm guessing you did enjoy, or at least appreciate the second book a bit more just because of the melancholy tone of the first one. <BR/><BR/>I sort of agree with you on the part about marrying a convicted murderer.
