DNF at 25%. I tried but the book is a painful read for me that I just couldn't get into. I'm sure if I waited it out it would have gotten better..or maybe not considering that I was a quarter through the book and nothing happened. I can sum up the first 25% of the book in a couple lines: young adult who was left before going to the alter so her family is constantly trying to set her up. She's determined not to like any of them. She takes her niece's frog to care for him. And that's it. a qauter of the book was spent on her complaining about the set ups.
But its not only the complaining that gets annoying. It's the way she complains. She's 25 years old or something but acts like shes's 16. I find the author's writing and tone very juvenile. As much as I tried it does not sound like a mid-20 year old woman narrating to me. Which leads into all the set ups; she complains and yells at them ALL THE TIME. As readers, I get it! You don't want to be set up with men but I don't need the reminder every four pages.
She takes in her niece's frog despite all complaints. She basically had no say in the matter because the little girl is quite persuasive. In response, she was quite rude to her niece and it just turned me off the whole thing.
The synopsis sounded really good and as much as I would like to continue I just can't get past the writing or the progress of the story. Again, by 25% all that happened was she took in the frog and was set up with another guy at her family event. That could have been a 10% thing but instead she spends about that much of the book whining.
Overall this book wasn't for me. The writing and the characters just didn't do it for me. Judging from many of the reviews though it is for so many others so I still urge new readers to give it a try cause who knows, you may be one of the ones who liked it.

This was a great book about losing love and how to pick up the pieces of your life until you are ready to move on.
I liked Cassidy and completely understood why she wasn't in a rush to get back into the dating scene after spending 12 years with Luke. It was like none of her family members really knew what she wanted or needed in a guy and some of the guys, like Matt, were definitely interesting.
I loved the Irish folklore that the book looks at and the mix of a traditional tale and yet it spins it into something totally different.
The man of Cassidy's dreams was awesome and came at such a great moment! I loved the whole part and I must admit that I would think I had hit my head or something!
There were lots of twists and turns in the book and I was definitely concerned about what Mackenzie was going through. I loved the moose scene!! The ending was awesome and I loved how they came together to save Cassidy from what she was going through!
I loved Grandma Fiona and think she needs a book of her own!
