This book was charming from start to finish. I am a big fan of books that explore the what-if's in life and this one does it beautifully. When Kate loses her husband in a tragic accident she finally feels like she can move forward in a new relationship twelve years later. When her husband begins to visit her in her dreams though, she begins to fall into an alternate universe where the lines between reality and imagination are blurred.
I alternated reading this between tears and goofy grins as Kate finds herself again. It reminded me so much of my favorite movie, "Sliding Doors." It's the best piece of chick lit I have read this year and would highly recommend for anyone who needs a little reading escape!
