A really enjoyable book. She meanders one way then another through town and country picking up friends and answers along the way.

This was a solid read. A bit disappointing, because I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Catherine's debut novel, but it kept me reading nonetheless.

The characters were cute, the plot was fine, if a tad repetitive - have you noticed how Chick Lit books seem to release the same plot again and again? About gardening, cooking, baking, they all come at the same time! So you're reading a glut of books all about fixing a broken garden, or someone trying to open a bakery etc.
