What I’m Reading: Careful What You Wish For by Hallie Ephron

I don’t usually read “novels of suspense” but I am an Ephron fan (especially of Nora Ephron), so I gave this book a try, and I’m glad I did. Yes, it was suspenseful but not at Silence of the Lambs intensity – although it does involve a storage locker. There was enough suspense to keep me interested, to guess how it would turn out, and to hope for the protagonist to win. And I was able to sleep at night. A win-win. I’d recommend this for teen readers, anyone looking for something lighter for a vacation, or anyone looking to escape into a story that is not a love story, war story, or chick-lit. I followed the clues Ephron drops throughout, and anything that I questioned, she came back to later in the book. An enjoyable, satisfying read.
