*4 1/2 stars
This book was recommended to me by an employee at Borders. I must admit, the first few pages were a little hard to get into, but then I couldn't put the book down. It's a modern love story mostly about a woman (Cornelia) and a young girl (Claire) with a messed up mom. Cornelia meets Martin in a coffee shop, falls in love with him and ends up having this amazing relationship with his daughter. Cornelia compares herself and her life to either classic movies-think Cary Grant or timeless novels-think Anne of Green Gables.
A tribute to classic film and true romance, this is the story of a 31-year-old cafe manager and an 11-year-old searching for her father, and the unexpected ways in which their lives are forever changed by chance.
Apparantly, this movie has been made into a screenplay and will star Sara Jessica Parker!
**little disclaimer...this is a clean book but does have 5-6 "bad" words.

Sounds pretty good. What is the scale for your ratings? 4.5 out of how many? :)
I'll have to look into this book once I finish the stack I have.
I agree with the katoa's. I have so many others lined up. But I am always looking for more. :)

I am still trying to get sucked into "Twilight" but will always come back for more recommendations from you!!! I should try Jane Austen again - I had a hard time with it in high school.
I am looking for a good read....thanks!
It is hard to say if it is appropriate for Maddie. There was one joke that was off color. It was an adult movie as far as content and storyline but VERY fun at he same time. I really enjoyed it and I am sure you would love it. And I think Maddie would like it also.
Sorry if that was no help at all.
I checked this one out because you recommended it and I loved it! Thanks!
