Since
becoming a Book Reviewer about a year I can’t help but notice the number of
books I’ve read/review which has caused me to reminisce the years of my youth.
Such is the case as I read this book by Connie Stephany.
This
time it’s a song called The Second Time Around in the 1960’s sung by none other
than Frank Sinatra; and if you read the lyrics to this sung, you’ll see why I
made the connection.
Love
is lovelier the second time around
Just
as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's
that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes
you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's
more comfortable the second time you fall
Like
a friendly home the second time you call
Who
can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There
are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm
oh, so glad we met the second time around.
While
Abby had her first infatuation on a guy named Max thirteen years ago, but the
problem is it had only been one way. But with his sudden return, it is now both
ways.
As
for Adam, the devoted guy she had been slated to marry, he disappeared leaving
Abby alone at the altar. Now, just as
her relationship with Max is taking off, he decides to return and to once again
ask Abby to marry him. And just like the words of the song by Mary MacGregor
[Peter, Paul, and Mary], she’s torn between these lovers, feeling like a fool
and knows that loving both of them would be breaking all the rules.
If
you’ve ever had been in this same situation, having to choose between two guys
who you love, then you can relate to one of the toughest decisions Abby will
ever have to make in her life.
Ms.
Stephany’s writing is one which allows you to experience what the main
characters in the book are, which is why I’m giving it 5 STARS.
