Pure fun!

I loved the old Cary Grant/Irene Dunne movie about a wife who returns from the dead. I loved Pam McCutcheon's updated, role-reversal version even more. Chaz is to die for, Scott had me choking on my coffee, and Kelly -- well, the header says it all: Insanity is so much more fun the second time around. What a GREAT read!!!

~ So Much Fun ~

I had so much fun reading this book, I wanted a laugh out loud kind of book, and this book made me laugh, I loved all the characters they were funny in there own way. What can I say about Chaz, the first husband, you could not help but to root for him to win Kelly's heart, then you kind of feel sorry for Spencer because he is not a bad guy. Kelly's brother Scott was so funny he had me laughing the most, I am so glad that he will have his own story and I cannot wait to read it and see what has become of him.Happy Reading Lisa

Reminds me of Cary Grant comedies

A zany take on a zany movie (My Favorite Wife). If you like screwball Grant comedies like Bringing Up Baby and My Favorite Wife, you'll probably enjoy this book. It's rather light and utterly implausible, but features pleasant characters and multiple plot twists. The outcome is clear from the beginning, but the ride's fun. I hope there's a book about Kelly's brother on the way!

Very highly recommended

Her wedding should have been the best of days, but holding her previous husband's memorial on the same day results in the worst of days for Kelly Richmond Vincent. Before resigning herself to the seemingly inevitable, Kelly expended her savings and devoted all her energy to finding her husband who disappeared in an accident. Now five years later, a loop hole allowed her to have him legally declared dead after five years. Of course Chaz would waltz into his own funeral, with the declaration that "Honey, I'm home." Now Kelly has not one, but two husbands, a mother who will not understand and a new groom eagerly waiting to consummate their vows. Chaz not only expects to pick up where they left off, but also expected to find the same Kelly waiting for him that he left behind. All this fashion sense and independence certainly leaves him guessing, especially with everyone staying at the honeymooner's hotel and Kelly getting her own room!Author Pam McCutcheon pens a novel impossible to put down with MY FAVORITE HUSBAND. I found myself reading it out loud while on a road trip over the holidays because I wanted to share the pleasure of the reading it with a friend. Ethical dilemma, comic mistakes and a strong dose of humor combine in this outrageous read that belongs on the keeper shelf. Readers will eagerly anticipating Kelly's brother Scott's story. MY FAVORITE HUSBAND comes very highly recommended.
