There are six novellas within this novel. All of the stories are original and keep the reader interested. Each story has one major obstacle that must be overcome, but they are merely speed bumps on the highway of life. As in life, some stories are funny, some poignant, and some hit close to home. The characters are mostly beautiful and vivacious, while the men are handsome and thoughtful. There is nothing extraordinary about the novel itself. Some of the stories are almost too short to resolve the problem. Recommended for those looking for a light, escapist read.
