I am rating this book at a 3star rating because I couldn't finish it. I thought it was well written and hilarious the problem I had was that while I was into it I wasn't INTO it. My reason for not being able to get INTO it was because I kept reading and reading and at 23% of the way in, the 2 main characters had almost no contact. My interest was wavering and I just couldn't anymore. But really it was well written and funny. I will read this author again.

I read two books from this author; A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian and Two Caravans.  I recommend them both.  Thoroughly enjoyable.  I liked the characters, the writing was entertaining, some parts truly funny and other parts hard and sad as real life is.  I even learned a few things about migrant workers; a nice surprise or by-product of reading Two Caravans, I wasn't expecting that.  Don't make my mistake though, I didn't realize that Strawberry Fields and Two Caravans are the same book but with different titles.  Oh well now I have 2 copies.  I liked these two books enough to read them again.  The characters have stayed with me, so go for it and enjoy.

I really enjoyed  the flowing and comical writing style in this first installment of  this trilogy. I will be reading the rest of the series and Robyn Peterman's other books.

Really funny and well written!  Written by a real, thoughtful human being.  No bull.  Highly recommended.

I usually don't read books like this but I am so happy that I did.  It was well written and enjoyable!  The end was a bit predictable; however, I truly enjoyed it.

This book was not what I expected, but I enjoyed it immensely.  So many people seem to think it is funny or even hilarious.  Did we read the same book?

I like the writing, which comes across as light and a bit flippant, while describing the ups and downs (lots of downs) of the life of Harriet Chance.  Harriet is an elderly woman, recently widowed from a man it sounds like she should have divorced many years earlier.  She is shocked to find her husband had purchased (or won?  I forget  Im not as old as Harriet, but I still have senior moments) an Alaskan cruise before his death.  This is very unlike him.  Still, she plans on going with her long-time best friend, who changes her mind at the last minute.  We eventually learn the truth about that, as well.

The book goes back and forth from the present time to various times/places in Harriets past, reminiscent of the old (really old) TV show, This Is Your Life.  We see who Harriet was and what she wanted to be and how life got in the way.  It got me completely wrapped up in her life and her welfare, and I cared very deeply about her.

This is not my typical type of book and I loved it. It made me laugh out loud. The characters were hilarious and the format had me hooked fro the start.

Humorous descriptions of thoughts, feelings and situations made the story flow well. I appreciated the author's vocabulary. The chemistry between the main characters was believable. I really enjoyed the human qualities her amulet/pendant had.
I have read a lot of books in this genre and it seems like it has been a long time since I have enjoyed a book enough to finish it.

It was a fun read, I hope to hang out with the characters again, especially Dwayne and Granny. First book I have read by this author, I will be reading more. I needed to read something light and full of humor, this filled the need, but was so much more than expected. Again, great characters, lots of laughter, plus the story was really wonderful.

I hadn't read this author before but thought the premise of the book sounded interesting. I was delighted to be treated to a really good book in my opinion.  I loved her characters and she made me laugh even though there was tragedy involved. I love witty characters and her heroine is just that. I look forward to reading Ms. Whitehead's other books.

I really enjoy reading this, not just because I'm a 80's fan, but because it is a well humored and well written book. Easy reading and with hilarious moments. I would love to see this in a movie. The girl is smart and even if she sometimes makes bad choices, she seems very sensitive and funny. She is adventurous and very articulate for her age. It seemed real and interesting.

I laughed almost all through this story. It was interesting how the author used technical computer phrases and equated them with feelings of making love.  I often complain that an author doesn't use adjectives to describe feelings.  This author has satisfied my need for said grammar.  Everything was well described to a "T".  Not overly done just right amount and funny to boot. With a few well placed adjectives it brings the story alive and lets the reader in the story instead of feeling on the outside.
What Peyton did in the end was very wise.  A lesson was learned by both.

I honestly haven't read a book that made me laugh so much for a very long time. Despite the fact that it was very well written and witty it actually had one special aspect to it that I rarely come across in books. The characters acted and spoke like my friends. It really bought back strong memories of my mid 20's to early 30's so much so that I had a smile plastered across my face while reading it. Thanks for writing such an excellent book Nick.

Quite a surprise, in that I am usually disappointed by the quality of the writing and plot in books I download free, but this one was just terrific.  The writing was funny and sharp and the sex was hot.  The plot was just a wee bit contrived, but easily forgiven because the characters were so likable.  I'd happily buy the sequel if it existed and I can recommend this book if you like hot romance novels.

I loved this book.  At times it was laugh out loud funny, and at times it was a genuine tearjerker.  I lost my mother a couple of months ago, and this book was a good place to escape for a few hours.  The "bedroom scenes" between Levi and Faith were tastefully handled. This is the first time I have read this author, and I am definitely going to read more by her.
