Editorial Reviews

Review

The book as a whole is neither inspirational, nor is it moving. It is awkward, especially when it comes to the few spiritual messages O'Connor wedges in. A lighthearted story about bad dates is followed by a plea to accept God's love and Christ's sacrifice if you want to make your marriage last. And then it's back to another silly story.
