All of the characters were well-developed, and their motivations, as they are revealed, are believable. Alice and Leo are willing to examine their feelings and thoughts, gradually accepting appropriate responsibility for their choices and thereby earning clarity and joy along with acceptance of pain.
I enjoyed the differentiation of characters, the eccentricities and talents and faults. This is the deepest of Cohen's fiction that I have read so far.

The plot, characters, settings, and back story are well-balanced, well-proportioned. I take pleasure in Cohen's use of language, too.

But all in all readable - just. Chick flick thru and thru with some naivety of the genre. There are some issues there that squeeze a tear or two mainly relating to a lost baby and following marriage breakdown but a bit too romantic and sugary with the main character seemingly intelligent young woman in pursuit of an unexpected new career and romance but in so many ways such a silly goose. Her ex husband and a father of the lost baby comes back to town to patch things up and is such a saintly great man yet the silly goose doesn't seem to notice. That he's in love with her and is the best man for her is so obvious to the reader from almost his very first appearance yet the main character holds stubbornly onto her past and looks for love elsewhere. The owner of a charming Edwardian manor sweeps her of her feet - that bit is boring and predictable and barely digestible. Also proves she's not that smart after all, instead of looking at a man's character she's swayed by the superficial. And yes, she's at times schoolgirl antic silly. I gave it a three stars because it will do for a light read and out of respect for the author's better novels.

I loved this book, I couldn't put it down and I didn't know which of the men she was going to end up with until right near the end.
