Book Description:
Rewarding job as a local doctor on Cape Cod? Check. Cute cottage of her very own? Check. Adorable puppy suitable for walks past attractive locals? Check! All she needs is for golden boy and former crush Joe Carpenter to notice her, and Millie will be set.

But perfection isn't as easy as it looks--especially when Sam Nickerson, a local policeman, is so distracting. Sure, he needs a friend after being dumped by Millie's fortune-hunting sister, but does she really need to enjoy his company that much? He is definitely not part of her master plan. But maybe it's time for Millie to start a new list…

I loved this book! Kristan Higgins made me laugh and cry out loud. It's more a chick lit book than a romance, IMO. I loved her easy writing style, and the way she made the main character, Millie, so real. I will be reading more of Ms Higgins books.

I have mixed emotions about this book. I started it, put it down, read 2 other books, then decided to give it another go. The heroine bothered me a lot in the beginning. There she is, just finished with her residency, so she's a doctor, but emotionally she's still in junior high, which really doesn't excite me as a reader. Then there's the guy she's had a crush on for 20 years. She finally gets his attention and I really thought that, the way he is written, she was going to realize that, good looking as he is, he was mentally simple. Really. I thought he was. Instead the author asks me to believe that this 30 year old man is simply too immature to understand that a chaperon at a school dance shouldn't be giving the boys a bottle of alcohol. A real pity that the author used such tricks to drive her heroine into some else's arms because she really nailed writing the cop-hero. She should have done so well with the other characters.

When I started reading this book, it was not like I thought it would be. I found myself getting irritated with Millie for depending on a guy for happiness. But I fell in love with Sam in the beginning and I found myself rooting for him and not Joe. The last part of the book was the best and I'm glad I stuck with it!

Kristan Higgins is now one of my favorite authors. The characters are so full of life and laughter, rarely do I laugh, cry and sigh in wonder during one book. I'm picking up all her books and I recommend you do too!

I've read other books by this author and really enjoyed them. This one was a little disappointing. I got bored halfway through and skipped to the last two chapters. I was able to figure ou the whole story by reading the last two chapters. It was a nice ending.

It's a cute funny story. Not a run of the mill romance. If you're looking for a quirky heroine with a slight stalking problem of her crush this is the book. However, if you're looking for steamy love scenes this isn't it. Higgins doesn't include those just takes us to the scene after. But Millie her heroine is amazingly funny

Cute story! I loved it! A little over the top with Millie and Joe acting childish, but other than that- a fantastic funny read.

basically this is a book about a woman who has always had a crush on one guy. she does everything she can think of to win his love. Then when she finally gets it, she realized it is not what she wants at all! I often got frustrated with the main character for having a crush on such a dim wit like Joe, but I also kept reading just so I could see if the Ex-brother in law would get a chance with her. Not a great book, but still funny in places and it was a quick read.

I enjoyed reading this book a lot. It isn't easy to find that perfect man. They comes in so many shapes, sizes and occupations. When HE comes along go for it!
