This is one of my favorite SK novels (well, more like a novella). I think it's the first book where I actually cried real tears. Very powerful and haunting stuff. It's about a young girl who gets lost in the woods for 2 weeks with nothing but a Walkman to keep her company.
Love it and the rpgram it lays out.
A fairly short novel, which I downloaded free for my Kindle. It's a typical light 'Mills and Boon' style novel, with a strong, attractive but angry male lead, and an intelligent, somewhat feisty heroine. The story opens when Sylvie, heart beating fast, attempts to justify her enormous invoice for planning a wedding... which was cancelled at the last moment when the bride cried off. I found the start of the book a bit slow-going, with rather too much introspection. The two characters clash repeatedly, trying hard to resist the chemistry that is sparking between them while becoming increasingly annoyed with each other. However it soon started moving a bit faster, when a celebrity magazine asks Sylvia to plan her own 'fantasy' wedding in aid of charity. Naturally, there are many misunderstandings before the inevitable conclusion, and I was surprised to find some of the revelations near the end to be quite moving. I won't be rushing to buy other novels by this author, but on the whole I enjoyed this one. Three and a half stars, really.
