Most times when authors use a first person voice, I have trouble connecting with the main character, sometimes not even bothering to finish the book. The heroine seems so self-centered, since the reader gets the whole story from one character. Writing a book like this offers a definite challenge to bring the reader in, rather than alienate her.
But KH’s heroine, Grace, is plain endearing, completely flawed, and I want to be her new BFF. The book, Too Good To Be True, read quick and hilarious, often making me laugh out loud, garnering my share of strange looks. But I didn’t care; I wanted to be submerged forever in this quirky world.
If you like a book with a quick, clever, engaging voice paired with sexy neighbors, dumb dogs, and one big crazy family, go pick up Kristan Higgins' book Too Good To Be True, and let me know your thoughts.
