Reader Reviews
Take two seemingly incompatible women, throw them together and mix well. Georgia Beers is always able to create a fresh, fantastic story from this simple recipe. `Mine' is certainly no exception to this rule. For the last three years, Courtney McAllister has lived alone in the semi-remote home she purchased with her late partner. However, after repeated badgering from her friends, Courtney decides to sell and move closer to town and the dating scene. Upon first meeting her realtor Rachel Hart, Courtney reacts badly when told to remove personal mementos - especially those of her partner - from the home. In fact, she goes so far as to throw the realtor out. Embarrassed, Courtney eventually apologizes and invites Rachel back for another try. Eventually the house sells, but both women find themselves uncharacteristically reaching out to each other and a strong bond forms. That is, except that Courtney is still emotionally `owned' by her late partner. Rachel has to decide if waiting for Courtney is worth the trouble, but in reality the decision is out of her hands. These characters are extremely well developed and likable, the story is built in many complex layers, and the writing is easy to follow. That, in and of itself, makes the book worth reading. However, Beers' talent as an author makes this one worth a permanent place in my personal collection. Comment | | (Report this)
