"I loved these 2 stories. They were short, light and clever. I laughed out loud several times. The romances were both unconventional and predictable but I found it to be comforting. Very clean both language and intimacy. I thought it was just right! I want to read more of her books. "
— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)
" Absolutely FANTASTIC. For two weeks I struggled through Huckleberry Finn, and the day I finished Huck, I started Married in Seattle. I finished it in less than 24 hours. I would recommend it to anyone, although it is "brain candy", as my mom says. :) "
