I'd searched for a simple, light-hearted book, an easy read before falling asleep, and as I read the beginning I thought I'd gotten too much of what I'd wished for. Too simple to the point of immaturity, the plot and dialogue predictable and the ethnicity played to stereotypical. I came so very close to quitting it. But since I quit just too darn many books lately, I persevered.
I am so glad that I kept going. The plot tightened, made some fresh twists and turns, the characters while still very simple, became more interesting, likable. It's a love triangle, yet more than that because it does involve a strange familial infidelity. An odd case here, and you'd have to read it to understand. I liked that the story is seen and told through a dead man's eyes, and that in the end, what seems impossible, actually works out. I'm at a loss on how to review something unacceptable and say that it is a good read. The man is one of those stereotypical older guys, pillar of the community, loved by all, who just couldn't keep it in his pants. And yet, I do recommend it for something sweet and light if that is what you need at the time.
