Product Description
Rewarding job as a local doctor on Cape Cod? Check. Cute cottage of her very own? Check. Adorable puppy suitable for walks past attractive locals? Check! All she needs is for golden boy and former crush Joe Carpenter to notice her, and Millie will be set. But perfection isn't as easy as it looks--especially when Sam Nickerson, a local policeman, is so distracting. Sure, he needs a friend after being dumped by Millie's fortune-hunting sister, but does she really need to enjoy his company that much? He is definitely not part of her master plan. But maybe it's time for Millie to start a new list…

A beautiful book about finding love where you doesn't expect to September 13, 2008

Kristan Higgins is a author I just recently discovered. I just finished "Fools rush in" by her and absolutly loved it. Higgins manages to make scenarios I normally not enjoy into something beautifull and I can only recommend this book and her other work.
Our heroine is Millie Burnes, the intelligent sister, who is back in her hometown after going away to study medicine. Ever since highschool she dreamed about getting together with Joe Carpenter and now she is back to achieve her dream. She thinks that she knows everything about him (hey, she kind of stalked him more often than not) and that Joe is her perfect match.
So Millie is a girl who likes plans and after managing to make the most out of herself (for the first time she really enjoys how she looks like) she is finally ready to get her guy. And oh boy, does she gets him only to realize after some time that a fantasy is just that: a fantasy that has sometimes nothing to do with reality.
So after breaking up with Joe she realizes that she is in love with somebody totally different: her sisters ex-husband Sam. That's when the trouble really starts because Millie and Sam (of course he has feelings too) find themselves in a weird situation where they have to defend their feelings to their family and they have to decide if their love is worth all the turmoil.
This book is so good, Millie is great and inspiring and she has a bunch of people who care about her, I especially like her gay friends who help her making the most out of herself but also staying true to who she really is.
So, if you haven't already read this beautiful and inspiring book get yourself a copy and realize that love sometimes takes the long way and not the shortcut.
Enjoy.

Worth Reading More than Once August 8, 2008

I love that the main character has such a hapless way about her and a self-deprecating wit. And it's a wonderful lesson about judging books by their covers... which is ironic - because I first picked this book up at a 1/2 price book store because of the dog on the cover. Ever since I read it, I've watched for her next release and this is still my favorite of the first two. I'm looking forward to reading her newest - "Just One Of The Guys".
Funny and very entertaining read July 28, 2008

This book was wonderful. The story was great and I had never laughed out loud so much while reading a book. Very clever writer. Catch of the Day by Higgins is also good but not as good as this one.
Two Snaps For Higgins June 12, 2008

Kristan Higgins is one of the greatest treasures of an author I have discovered in years!! This was a smash hit of a debut novel imo and it literally left me gasping in laughter. Millie was so REAL that she seemed to leap right from the pages. It takes a top notch author to create a character so vivid. I found myself relating to her so well in so many ways. Well, except for the hookup with the ex BIL. Ick! lol On to my next Higgins novel. I'm confident I'll strike gold twice. An author this good and so snappy and fresh surely cannot be a fluke.
 great book, but spent too much time on joe February 27, 2008

I really liked the book, but I feel that the author spent too much time writing about Millie's relationship with Joe. I kept skimming through the parts with Joe, which was a big part of the book. I wanted to know more about Sam and Millie's interactions. It is a little strange to fall in love with her ex-brother-in-law, but once you start reading, you get sucked into the plot.
