About this ebook
It's uncanny! Within six months of breaking up with her, Peg Silver's ex-lovers always meet and marry the women of their dreams. Even worse than being the eternal bridesmaid, she's the last girlfriend, the one who awakens in a guy theknowledge of what he's always wanted in a relationship ... and it's never with Peg. Obviously, a major lifestyle change is seriously called for, which is why the distraught interior landscape designer says good-bye to Manhattan and late-night lattes with pal Nina, and hello to a farmhouse on ten acres in tiny, backwater Manshire, Vermont, hoping to meet the ultimate, all-organic country man (without too much facial hair) to keep her warm in those frosty New England winters.
Instead, Peg finds herself at Inward Bound -- a proactive adult-education retreat for the hapless and hopelessly lovelorn -- to try to lift her dreaded "girlfriend curse." A steamy (and expressly forbidden) dalliance with gorgeous woman-eater Ray probably isn't going to help cure her. But some romantic insight could arise from her attraction to Linus, Inward Bound's sexy, scruffy, smart and still-single founder. Perhaps there is a secret to be unearthed in the crunchy Green Mountains, one that will magically transform Peg Silver from the Perpetual Also Ran to the Big Winner in love.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a pretty good light read that I'd recommend for a day by the pool. I'm sure some people don't read as fast as I do, but it's really just not that big of a book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A much better work by Valerie Frankel. Light, fun, funny, a New York girl moves to Vermont after realising that all her ex-boyfriends have gotten married shortly after their breakup. She enters a relationship help clinic with the goal of snagging a hot man there. Instead, she realises that she does need the help. It's very insightful in things people need to change in order to be happy with their relationship. And it's also a very fun read.
