Mysteriously Irresistable

I wanted to dislike this book immediately because the plot is somewhat "unlikely", but I found this an incredibly entertaining book that delivers a fun and easy read, and I just could not put it down. I can't say it is a great book, in the sense that it speaks to me on some spiritual or otherwise un-carnal level (I found the attempts the author made at handling grief and spirituality very unsophisticated and stereotypical, and therefore distracting), but if you go into it expecting something fun and mostly mindless, you get everything you wanted and more out of it! As I said, even with all my reservations, I just could not put it down, and that is always a good sign! As a footnote, there is quite a bit of sex in this book, so if that sort of thing makes you uncomfortable, this book may not be for you.
