Description:

Cornelia, a 31-year-old cafi manager, is waiting for her life to change. At first, she thinks she`s found all her answers in Martin, who seems to have stepped off the screen from one of her favorite romantic classic films into the cafi. Meanwhile, Clare, a sensitive, precocious 11-year-old who barely sees her father since the divorce, watches in sadness and desperation as mental illness slowly creeps over her beautiful, vivid mother. When Cornelia and Clare finally meet, Cornelia realizes that it wasn`t Martin she was waiting for.

      I enjoyed reading this book. I would call it recreational reading, nothing heavy or ponderous. Just a good story, well told

    • A Let Down

      I'm not sure what all the hype is about this book. The first 100 pages are super dull. Maybe if you're really old you will understand the movie references... otherwise they're just annoying. The middle of the story is interesting. Corny ending. I'd buy something else if I were you. The weird part (to me atleast) was that the childs story seemed really engaging and readable, but when the author switches to the adults viewpoint she just looses her skill. Disappointing.

    • Well written.

      I liked this book so much, I bought her other book also available through Overstock. Waiting for her third book. Once you get used to the fact that each chapter is narrated by and is about one of the main characters, you get used to the change in perspective. For the romantic at heart, this is a good read.

  • Philadelphia cafe manager Cornelia Brown drifts effortlessly through her unattached life, unapologetic for idealizing romance and breathlessly recommending The Philadelphia Story-to the reader and everyone else. Eleven-year-old Clare is a child of divorce whose mother, a successful party planner, is quickly going to pieces. In alternating chapters of Cornelia's first person and Clare's free and direct third, poet de los Santos, making her novel debut, tells the story of their finding each other. That Cornelia, early on, immediately falls for Cary Grant doppelganger Martin Grace is no surprise; his relation to Clare, revealed a third of the way in, isn't really either. As she discovers maternal instincts she wasn't sure she had, Cornelia works up the courage to face her own feelings for Clare with honesty. As Martin exits, Cornelia's childhood friend Teo enters, but neither makes much impact, and Clare's rather serious issues get reduced to Clare-did-this, Clare-thought-that episodes. The two main characters exist for one purpose: to enact a cross-generational, strong-but-vulnerable-and-loving, screenplay-ready femininity. Chick lit? You bet: with rights sold in at least eight countries, and, indeed, to Paramount-Sarah Jessica Parker will star and coproduce with Sideways's Michael London. The book is fine, but for this property, it's a case of waiting for Carrie to walk in. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
