Nice book. It was a good read and the perspective of a widowed man was a newer story line for me. A smooth read that kept me engaged.

Plodding at the beginning, trite in the middle, and topped off with a stupendously undeveloped ending. Decent dialog but not enough to give this book more than zero stars. I suppose I got what I deserve for picking a book off the library shelf totally based on its title.
