Summary
Becky, a mother of four and a devout Mormon, is in L.A. to sell her screenplay when she meets heartthrob actor, Englishman Felix Callahan. Despite their many differences and obstacles, the two believe that they are soulmates and destined to become best friends. Unfortunately for them, their spouses and Becky’s church community might see things a bit differently. Can married people have close friendships with members of the opposite sex?
Critique
This novel has a fairy tale premise but is more than a light bit of fluff. Hale has delivered a thoughtful read where her characters' morals are challenged. A thoughtful and also very funny read. Recommend.
