This is a great book, filled with the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the characters. The cast of people is outstanding-Vera, a woman in need of a life change and a waking up, Eli, long in love with Vera and never feeling enough when compared to Brody, an absolute user of Vera. There are a group of senior citizens, former Hollywood people with their problems that add to the scenes of the story. Throw in several hilarious lines and enjoy the humor amid the craziness.
A truly wonderful novel. The characters are well defined and add so much to the story. The main character’s life blows up causing her to lose her reality show position. She finds herself at complete odds when she stumbles upon a group of people all, like her, needing friends. The traumas she continues to experience are contrasted with those of her new friends. Add in a romance to complete the wonderfulness of the book.
I had a hard time with this novel and almost did not finish it. The reason was that there were too many sad times/tragedies with no real relief between them. It made the story more morose than I personally felt was necessary for the plot. I do not know if that was the intended purpose but comic relief has its value,
A lovely and heartwarming romance and a very enjoyable read. There are conflicts, worries, and joys tucked into the pages creating a wonderful story of family, friends, and love.
The developing life of a young witch from Puritan times to current time and that of a male witch run in parallel stories as their ultimate bond is formed. This story lays the groundwork for the impending battle between good and evil. A little tedious and repetitious at times. Overall, a good novel.
