Search - A Little Help from Above

Reminded me of "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner, in that both books are about life's priorities and both involve loss & grief. A nice change from all those books about women obsessed with finding a guy to "complete" them. And I laughed out loud when Shelby refers to her clingy boyfriend as a "Penis Flytrap."

Very funny book about a mother who has "watches" her two daughters from above and occasionally offers a little help to nudge them in the right direction (or at least what she thinks is the right direction!). Very funny sister relationship dynamic; I know I could relate. The characters are quirky, human and have depth. The plot line moves well, is humourous, touching, sad, happy and cetainly draws your heart into the story.

This is a very cute, fast read. Highly reccomend it.

Here is a book with a lot of characters and trying to find one that I like. This is a funny novel about a woman who reconnects with her family very reluctantly. Her father and his wife were hit by a car. Shelby comes back to Long Island. Her mother in the afterlife interferes with certain events to try to get Shelby back with her sister, father, and aunt. She is also trying to find a lost love she last seen when she was a child.

As a big fan of chick lit, this book didn't disappoint. Easy to follow the plots & twists.

Excellent read. Uplifting and touching.
