Since I am on spring break I decided to read a grown up book-a book written for adults-and I really enjoyed it. Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis Lee is heartwarming without being sappy-I didn't want to put it down. Emily's husband, Sandy, is killed in an accident, but takes the form of a dog to-basically- wrap up his life. In Emily's grief she adopts a dog whom she names Einstein, but who happens to be Sandy. Einsteins's job is to help Emily through her grief which also includes cleaning up some of the mistakes Sandy made in their marriage and in life. Of course her wack-a-doodle sister returns from South America to soothe Emily in the process causing more trouble. Of course, there is a handsome, but somewhat troubled younger man who intrigues her, but is she ready to end her grief and move on? The ending is satisfying without being too sugary sweet-really another installment would be great. Definitely worth reading.
Now, I can't put down Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Yippee!!! It's spring break!
