graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Mr. Maybe in Books

Feb 15, 2019

I really enjoyed reading this book and practically read it in one shot. Libby was a great character; I related to her (to a certain extent) and thought she was fairly realistic. However, there were a couple of things that bothered me: did the author have to make Ed a complete bore? I don't think it's bad to have two decent love interests. Second, did Nick have an upper-class raising or not? Lastly, the ending was too abrupt, I would have like there to have been a chapter or epilogue more; seemed to me that there were a few loose ends. Otherwise, I found it to be an easy, fast, and fun read. Jane Green's books haven't disappointed me yet.

Kudos

I was initially disappointed that a lot of the humor was seeing the main female character in so many humiliating pratfalls and fails, however, it turns around some with Thelma Rotter's strong female role and her hiring Debbie Reynolds' character as a female ranch hand instead of hiring a male ranch hand, Reynolds' determination in working hard to support her family instead of taking the easy way out and becoming someone's wife and relying on a man to support her, and Reynolds' eventually becoming sheriff of this frontier town. There is a lot of corny humor in this movie but it's worth a watch. It was great seeing Andy Griffith in the movie and as one of her love interests.
