Book Description:
Dance instructor Caroline and her lawyer husband Tom are looking forward to spending time alone together as they waltz their way gracefully into retirement. Suddenly, though, their empty nest is filling up. Caroline's sister arrives with a load of luggage, a bad-tempered terrier, and a broken heart. Their daughter, Kay, brings home her fiance, the richest boy in Raleigh, and plans a high-society wedding that could wipe out Caroline and Tom's savings and retirement dream. And a contractor finds cracks in the foundation of their home and sets up camp indefinitely.

This book was just ok. I have read other books by this author that were far better. Yes, it was funny, but half-way through I thought that the plot and twists in the story were just too unbelieveable.

Read her other book called Eat Cake....that one was much much better!

What a fun book! Read in three days. All of the comical calamity you can think of crammed into one book. If you like the Harlequin Next series, you'd like this one, too.

This is a crazy tale about two people,(Caroline & Tom) retired and ready to set off on their lifelong dreams: Carolines's sister moves in with a ton of luggage & a very bad tempered dog & broken dreams; a contractor find cracks in the foundation and moves in their yard indefinitely; and their daughter, Kay, brings home her finace', the richest boy in Raleigh....planning a high society, very expensive wedding that could wipe out Tom & Caroline's finances...and their dreams. It it funny, sad, but most of all, reminds one that having family along on life's journey (good or bad) is a blessing.

An interesting reading for women between the ages of 40 -80 talks a lot about the mid life crisis that a lot of women go through with a daughter getting married, a sister deciding on a divorce, a son going to law school and her husband a public defender...

Cute book. A little bit silly at times, but I will admit it did have my laughing out loud in some parts. Not one of my favorite books, but it was enjoyable to read if you are feeling kinda "blah" and need a laugh. My mother borrowed the book from me before I read it - she loved it and gave it 4 stars.

I never got a chance to read this book. But I remember that it got good reviews. Hope someone can enjoy it.

I loved it! A fast read but it holds your interest. I can't wait to read more by this author.

I have become a huge Jeanne Ray fan; I can count on her books to be well written, well characterized, and to envelope me like I'm one of the family.

Hilarious. No one can take the problems of everyday life and help us laugh our way through them the way Jeanne Ray does.

Cute story, quick read... not nearly as entertaining as Julie & Romeo.

This is one of the best books I have read recently. So true to life, and compelling. If you love just great fiction...........don't miss this one!

quick, enjoyable read about a family who learns that whatever challenges you face in life, it is always easier with family around. i was a tad disapointed in the ending - but jeanne ray never has predictable endings.

How nice to read a book where the characters do not succumb to dysfunction when life happens. The characters are people you would like to know in real life.
