I bought this book for my wife â and then I read it myself I bought this book for my wife â and then I read it myself. I found it surprisingly engrossing. The characters seem like real people, not the soapy romantic characters I thought I would find. Once I started reading, I didn’t stop. By the way, my wife likes it, too. So buying it for her was a good decision.
