The more I read McFarlane the more I realize how much I just want happy stories. There's usually a sparkly element to her books: whether the heroine is amazing, the hero dreamy, the group of friends or family believable or sparkly, and I think this might be the story that falls the flattest on all fronts (except perhaps the jerks. Don't You Forget About Me certainly had the worst a-holes in the McFarlane Literary Universe, and yes, I do mean plural!)

This isn't a romance book by any means, it's more of a journey of self-discovery and healing with a subplot of romance rekindled. I can understand how that can be very entertaining to others, but generally not what I was looking for. I found myself feeling impatient (when are these two going to interact?) and not rewarded for the amount of time I had to wait for the story to unfold (oh... that's it?) 

So all in all, "It's Not You, It's Me" is still my favorite... and maybe this one is my least? My other candidate for least favorite is Here's Looking At You, but I feel like that had better format since it was dual-POV.
