Not as good as her novel "Beong to Me" but still a good read. You definitely get wrapped up in the characters and realize the breadth of love that one person can hold. The continual references to movies were a bit much and took away from the plot a bit, but I can see what the author was trying to ...
Maybe not quite a "four", but it was at least a notch above average. The author created characters that I cared about and for whom I wanted a happy ending, even though "chick lit" is not really my "thing." The main character, Cornelia, starts out as a thirty-something educated woman with some not ve...
Awesome! I know, I know… it is such an overrated word, but it honestly does apply in this case. The writing is lyrical.. In the best sense of the word. Everything out of their mouths, so descriptive. In fact, pages one through fifty were a challenge. Getting used to the way things were said, Corneli...
A continuation of her first novel, Love Walked In, this book had some pretty deep issues going on, a big shocker, and a lot of family goings-on. Cornelia is back, now married to Teo, continuing a relationship with Clare, when they move to the suburbs and meet all sorts of new people. It seems to be ...

She's honest, up front, and likeable, but we got the point about Cary Grant and black and white movies! Her relationships with Martin and Clare aren'...
I wanted to love this book but I just couldn't. There were parts that just talked to me and I adore Clare and Cornelia, but there was just something about the story that just didn't work for me.
I'm still processing the book. One thing about Marisa's books...she sort of weaves everything together in a very unconventional way. You get a Happily Ever After, but it's kind of bittersweet. She doesn't give something without having something first sacrificed for the happiness. Just like with ...
Things I liked about this book: - It was set in Philadelphia.- The main character was old fashioned and fond of old timey things.- Cornelia was in love with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Who wouldn't be? - I liked Clare a lot.Things I didn't like about this book- Everything about Cornelia was to...
Absolutely loved this. Wonderful, lyrical, heart-rending, the story switches between point of views with graceful ease. I must have been too awed by the writing to notice the hints, and when the big twist in the story came I was completely knocked off with surprise. Marisa de los Santos makes you wi...
