How to Walk Away

How to Walk AwayHow to Walk Away by Katherine Center
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book recommendations from people you don't usually talk books with can be tricky, and this book was a little over the top for me. "How to Walk Away" is formulaic and and a bit cheesy, but Anne Bogel said on her "What Should I Read Next?" podcast that Center likes for her characters to have happy endings. In a world where we need a few more romantic comedies and a few less dramas, I decided to stick with it. It didn't hurt that I pictured the main character, Maggie's Scottish physical therapist like Grey's Anatomy's Dr. Owen Hunt. I love Dr. Hunt, so that held my imagination along with surprise appearance my beloved Bruges made in the story. Actually now that I think about it, "How to Walk Away" is a lot like a Grey's episode - fraught with angst, love, disappointed hopes, random medical jargon, beautiful people, quirky best friends/siblings, and stolen moments.

Anyway - take it or leave it like that Halloween candy that's appearing in stores already. Sometimes it's not the greatest quality, but it really hits the spot.

Happy reading--
