If Wishing Made it So is a light and funny second chance at love story. It’s a textbook example of a pleasant summer read – nothing out of the ordinary, but good for several hours of fun. Hildy Caldwell was the smartest girl in high school and was voted the one most likely to succeed….
Eleven on Top is silly, but since it’s a Stephanie Plum mystery, silly is mandatory, so readers who want a non-silly mystery should pick up a P.D. James novel instead. Me – I like Stephanie and the gang, and I was in the mood for silliness. I found myself laughing a lot at this one….
