Book Description:
Is it possible to find that perfect once-in-a-lifetime love twice?

Gert Healy thought she was finished with dating. She thought she'd never again have to worry about what to wear and what to say and whether she was pretty enough. She thought that she'd be picking out strollers and booties for the children she and her husband were planning to have. Instead, she's mourning his loss and coming to terms with being a widow at twenty-nine.

It's been over a year now, and her friends -- with the best of intentions, really -- have convinced her it's time to get back into the swing of things (even though looking for love is the last thing she wants to do). Although they've developed many a dating rule between them, now that Gert's a part of their single-girl crew, she's beginning to realize they don't know the first thing about men. Of course, Gert doesn't know the first thing about dating, since she married her college sweetheart, so maybe joining forces will work out after all. But does Gert have it in her to fight her way through the leather-jacketed and miniskirted crowds in search of a second miracle?

It's back to square one on everything. Well, actually she's done it all before. Square two, then.

From the author of Carrie Pilby comes this charming and bittersweet tale of love, loss and starting over.

I really wanted to like this but it seemed so slow.

The main character has a lot of angst in this novel and at times I found it a bit annoying. Overall, I did enjoy the story though. I'm watching an aunt go through a similar situation as a widow re-entering the dating world, so that made it a little more interesting.

One of my new favorite authors. More thoughtful and less fluffy than most chick lit.

Funny and realistic, I thought, not having ever been in this situation. It made me laugh out loud a few times.

Have you ever wondered if you could find that "once in a lifetime" twice? She will have you laughing and continuously turning pages as her happiness plays out. Very entertaining read.
