Book Review: Do or Di by Eileen Cook







A laugh out loud romantic comedy, from the author of Unpredictable and Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood. Erin Callighan has given up on the idea of a fairy tale romance. Having dated her own version of the Seven Dwarves (including Grumpy and Sleepy), she's letting go of the idea of Prince Charming and settling for Prince Good Enough. Erin’s focused on reaching her dream of having her own talk radio show, even if it means having to temporarily co-host with the annoying “Voice of Seattle”, Colin Stewart. To score points with her station manager, she agrees to be a part of the Positive Partnerships program that matches her with Diana, a troubled pre-teen who swears she's channeling the spirit of the late Princess Diana. She's supposed to be mentoring Diana, but the channeled princess has a lot to teach Erin about love and happily ever after endings. (Description from http://www.amazon.com)


My thoughts:

I had purchased this book for my Kindle months ago. I try to buy a free or "cheap" book to keep on there when I am waiting for something on reserve from the library. It is only available as an e-book from Amazon. You might think from the title that it is a mystery, but it is not. It is a contemporary romance with some quirky characters.  I loved Erin and Diana and their relationship.  Erin was supposed to be mentoring Diana, but Erin learns a lot more from this teen than she ever imagined.  Yes, the ending was predictable but the story read at a nice pace.  If you are looking for something to read on a snowy winter afternoon, this would be a good choice.
