Book Review: Sweet Misfortune

Sweet Misfortune: A Novel by Kevin Alan Milne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

   Sophie owns a chocolate shop where she sells Misfortune Cookies-dipped in bitter chocolate they contain messages she hand writes each day such as "Your car seems fine now, but just wait...it will eventually be a source of frustration and unexpected delay." What starts as a gimmick, turns into a surprise hit with customers. But when her ex-fiance moves back to their small Washington town, he is surprised at how bitter and unhappy Sophie has become. She proposes a bet--he must place an ad in the paper that simply states "Wanted: Happiness." If there are 100 good real responses, then she'll agree to one date with him.(mostly from excerpt from inside cover).

   I loved reading this book. Definitely would be good for a bookclub read, summer read, or if you just want to read a good book! One of those that was hard to put down, even wanted to cry a little at the end. Could not believe the layers that unfolded in the story. You think you have it figured out, then something else happens. must read.
