2.5 stars I guess. Not a big fan of this trend of books about cold, socially awkward, unemotional robot people but somehow this book still made it on to my library hold list and one I had it, I had to read it.

I like the idea of love & motherhood loosening up a rigid personality and this one had a fairly interesting (if predictable) backstory for why our heroine was so uptight but they didn’t really explain the unraveling of her knots very well. They did a decent job with her friendship with her neighbor but really didn’t do much with the romance side. It just seemingly inexplicably came to be that she loved and was loved by a nice, handsome man.

Opportunity lost.

Odd British lady looses her mother which leads her to finally let some people in despite her prickly antisocial nature. It was cute but not a particular stand out to me. (

Some family drama with a dash of romance. (

Susan has been trying to control everything in her life as a way of avoiding emotional pain. But her accidental pregnancy and the death of her mother throw her carefully protected life into upheaval. Along the way she discovers family secrets and reconciles some of the painful relationships in her life. Susan is prickly but over the course of the novel I really came to like her and enjoyed seeing her open up. (

Susan is called by her brother, Edward, to advise her that their mom, Patricia Green, has died. Susan takes it matter-of-factly, after all, her mother had strokes, and was older. At the funeral, Susan faints, and realizes she is pregnant by her friend of convenience, Richard. When the will is read, Susan believes Edward influenced their mother to allow him to live in the house. Susan investigates-questioning her Aunt Sylvia and Edward's friend Rob, while digging up old family secrets and discovering some things about herself.
Cute story, but predictable, including the twist. (
