Never lucky in love herself Lizzie thins her luck might have changed when she meet's Matt at the company party and things heat up fast. Till a bomb is dropped that Matt is married. Now, Lizzie has some choices to make and it doesn't help that she has been giving advice and forming a friendship with a women who has gotten lost in her career and is trying to save it from the exact thing Lizzie is going through. Could her personal and private life's be crashing?

This story is the story for hopeless romantics and though I don't mind a good love story I am not a hopeless romantic. There were parts of this book that were just a little slow for me, it was a very easy book to put down and hard to pick back up. I kind of wanted to like this book, but I couldn't get into it. The characters fell a little flat for me. The wife a little to easy to see why she was in the position she was. Matt just didn't have the guts to do anything for most of it. Lizzie was a little to I was perfect and I can't believe I am not anymore, woe is me, or I am just the victim at times. The only character that seemed to have some depth and growth in the plot was Clare, Lizzie's roommate and best friend, who had been cheated on by her ex husband and still doesn't trust men at the start of the book. She grows in understanding herself and relationship to men through the book and I feel like that was the primary growth in the book. Overall, I was kind of disappointed in this book. It was a predictable and mediocre.

I will try other books by Sigaloff, looks like this is one of her daly ones. But, really this one and the characters not my cup of tea. Maybe two stars is what I would give it.
