He proposed. She had her doubts. She said yes. Now what?

Everyone tells Sarah Giles how lucky she is to be engaged to Paul O'Brian--a handsome hotshot who's financially secure, knows how to throw the perfect dinner party...and taught Sarah how to, uh, take care of herself. Everyone thinks he's great. Except for Sarah. But she has too much on her plate trying to become career woman of the year and hiding the fact that her seemingly blissful relationship is all but celibate (those lessons he gave her should come in handy) to figure out what's wrong with Mr. Right, let alone qualify for the role of perfect fiancée.

Meanwhile, what started as an innocent office flirtation with a man named John Wayne (really), has now moved beyond illicit lunches and harmless text messaging, and is fast turning into erotic obsession. Sarah can't get John out of her head and she's plunging deeper into a double life. But which life is the lie?

Torn between two men, and trying not to lose sight of her own dreams, Sarah writes a scandalously honest diary of one life-changing year, and faces the challenge of writing her own happy ending....… (plus d'informations)

I would describe this as more vulgar Bridget Jones. The stylistic approach is pretty similar in many regards.

Gah -- I hated the way the short form of "because" was spelled "'cuz" (or was it "coz"?) rather than "'cause"! And the consistent omission of pronouns so that it was all colloquial (e.g. "Went to store" rather than "I went to the store"); this is fine occasionally, but it grated on my nerves, being used throughout the entire novel.

And, boy, is the main character ever clueless for so, so long! She basically needs to be hit over the head repeatedly to get a simple message that her long-term relationship is no longer working.

Her jaunt to Canada was pretty well done.

But besides these criticism it was still a pretty good read. And the heroine's cluelessness was actually quite welcome because she was so obviously flawed in that regard -- yet likeable in so many ways -- it made her relateable because she didn't come off as too perfect.

Oh, and note to self -- Lisa Tucker (whose story appears in the Cold Feet collection) is not the same author as Sarah Tucker. ( )
