SWEET MISFORTUNE was the August 2015 pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove.

I'm sorry to say I thought it was very disappointing. The premise was cute, but the execution was corny and sophomoric, complete with faux tension and forced conflict. I wouldn't be surprised if a teenager had written this story.

The relationship between Sophie and Garrett was SO boring, gimmicky and shallow, not to mention barely hanging by a thread on poorly plotted themes of providence, divinity and coincidence.

I can't recommend this book and would even be hesitant to read the author again. I give it a C-.
