Sara's Reviews > Forget Me Knot

Every girl dreams of making it on her own, and Abby is set to do just that has she has her own floral store; however, it turns out that all Abby has right is her business acumen. She lets herself be constantly disappointed by a foppish boyfriend--he's always making excuses and is always late...Where are Abby's friends here? Everyone knows (say it) he's just not that into you girl--and the kicker is that she accepts his half-hearted proposal! UGH! Abby’s proposal acceptance made me want to go find her and pull her off her bar stool of desperate obliviousness. Of course, once Abby is engaged, she meets a man with potential, and one who is certainly more interested in her…

For me the book needed some rework. I liked the premise, but the friends, the loser boyfriend, the sudden love interest--all formula. There was no spark, no push to make this interesting. Tell me all about flowers—or characters with spirit and maybe even a totally wonderful (likeable) heroine--that's it--even for chic lit, this story needed more DEPTH. A beach read, but not at the top of the list.
