Abigails's search for love takes her to people and places she hasn't seen since high school. Fast-witted
dialog and compelling characters make this a book you don't want to put down. Appealing to young and old alike, this
is a story that evokes everyone's personal searches, wherever they've lived and whatever they left behind. A second
highly recommended novel by Judith Kolkin.

I couldn't put it down. Abigail is such an interesting person as are all her family and
friends - I kept wanting to read more about them. It is very well written. I enjoyed it very much.

The brilliance in this book is that it’s about universal themes
in a way that makes it feel very personal to those who read it. The characters and their personalities are developed very
well. They feel completely genuine to me. Also, the opening holiday scene is painted with a lot of care. The same flair
shows up in the description of the other scenes. The meetings with Ann at Macy’s are quite lifelike to me.

Many novels
have been written on the subject of this book. Self exploration, learning to like yourself, be happy with who you are.
It has been sensitively described by the author, with great detail and care. At the same time interweaving the relationship
between two sisters adds another level of complexity and proves to be a unique background for the story throughout the book.
This novel is the author's second book, her first ("Honorable Intentions") shows her versatility in writing novels,
because they could not be more different.

school that I hadn't thought about in years. Looking forward to your next book.
