I bought this book in Bermuda and began reading it on the way home. I finished it last week but haven't been able to find a spare moment to blog. So unlike me, I know. I can't tell you the last time I actually read something other than this morning for 10 minutes while I was sitting in the doctor's office waiting to be seen. Clearly my lack of reading time is due in part to 1: It's May and birthdays have begun, 2: It's May and school gets crazy, and 3: We have decided to list our house and move. But, that's another story for another day. Regardless, I have been a bit delinquent with my reading. Good thing we had so much snow and I was so far ahead of the game.
Anyway, A Walk in the Park was another book I chose because of it's adorable cover. Sad, but true facts. It sounded interesting and it was (the characters are like no others I have read about lately), but the cover is precious and the font is fun--it's easy to choose this one by it's cover. In fact, I stood in the Bermuda Bookshop looking at each and every one of Mansell's books trying to decide which one to buy and read because they all had great story lines and they all had cute covers. Shallow, but true.
A Walk in the Park is the story of Lara, her daughter Gigi, and Flynn--Lara's high school boyfriend and Gigi's father (yep...you do the math on that one). It is a fabulous story, hilarious at times (especially when you meet Harry and Enjay), and one with a sweet ending.
This is one for the beach bag and then one for the bookshelf. It really is beautiful!
Happy reading, everyone!

p.s. I am not off to read but off to de-clutter my house to it continues to look like a museum so that we can sell it.
