A Walk in the Park by Jill Mansell
3.0
A little (ok, a lot) predictable. Some of the humor from previous books was missing, but I liked that people in their mid-30s weren't as quirky or immature as some of her younger characters. I have mixed feelings about Enjay's character; his portrayal and what it stands for bothered me a lot. It was a blown-up caricature of in-the-closet...urban men. With all the groping, playing up the promiscuous image, etc. That storyline itself was dragged out for so long, that the reveal at the end didn't really have a major effect for me. Harry himself was introduced so late in the book that I wondered why even bother. I'm also over the killing likeable characters. This one especially didn't seem to move the plot along in anyway or make a huge difference in developing the main character. And her father/trust issues and why she didn't want to get into a relationship with Flynn weren't executed well. It took me forever to realize that's what the writer for trying to show us. I really liked Gigi, though a near 19 yr. old still wanting her parents back together for Christmas fell a little flat for me also.
