I thought this was a hilarious book and it really did keep me guessing. I think that you kind of figure out which way it will go, but you're never 100% sure until one of the very last chapters. I really love how this book was written and how the story changed from past to present. I would recommend this for a very quick, funny read!

This is my favorite light book. After reading it, I bought every Wendy Markham book! I've passed it to my friends and even the most reluctant readers loved it. It's easy, fast paced and very funny, yet it does not insult. If you were single in the 80's and are now a mom it is a must, must read. If you also worked in Manhattan then order it right now!

This was some all-right chick lit. Held my attention, fairly fleshed-out characters, and an interesting ending, which is kinda obvious by about 3/4 of the way through. That's okay, though - it was still some fairly fun reading, despite the fact that the heroine was not all that sympathetic. Markham describes her as "spoiled" on numerous occasions. However, I didn't necessarily see her as spoiled - just wanting her cake and eating it too in regards to the two Mikes. In other ways, I didn't really see that as an accurate description. The relationship she had with Computer Mike didn't really seem like "love" to me either - not even chick lit-love. She said they loved each other but I wasn't really getting that vibe at all.

I wish Amazon allowed half-stars, because this book to me was middle of the road - more of a 2 1/2 stars. I rated it a 3-star because 2 stars just seemed too low. Because, after all, it did keep me reading.

The book was a quick read, but there were subtle hints as to which Mike Beau married. I would have preferred more imagery. As much as I was able to relate to the 80's, I would have liked more descriptions. I enjoy Wendy Markham's books, but I think that this book was not up to par.

Beau is a stay at home mom of three rambunctious boys. She and the love of her life, Mike, have settled down in the `burbs, and life has become a bit monotonous. Lately, she has been thinking about the other love of her life, the other Mike, especially when out of the blue, he sends her an e-mail. Suddenly she is wondering what might have been had she chosen him. Despite her friend's warnings and protestations, she arranges to meet Mike in Florida while visiting her in-laws, where he confesses that he has never gotten over her.

Each chapter is cleverly identified as past or present (1989 versus 2004), and chock full of so many pop culture references to the 80's that late boomers will get a kick out of the trip down memory lane. The past and present flow so well together.

Beau meets the first Mike while at summer camp. They spend each summer together, and now that they have graduated, she assumes that they will take the next step - living together or getting married. But Mike thinks it is all too sudden, and is not sure he wants to take a job in New York or California, where he has an opportunity to work on something called the world wide web ("is that like USA for Africa?").

Enter the other Mike. She meets him in an airport bar and feels an instant rapport with him. He gives her his business card, and she thinks that she has tossed it out. Then she finds it and starts seeing him Mike platonically, though Mike is more interested in a relationship, and she doubts the first Mike's commitment to the relationship since he wants to remain in California.

As she bounces from anecdotes and stories about each Mike, the reader is just not sure which Mike she ended up with. Just when you think you know that it is one Mike, you reconsider and believe it is the other Mike, and then back again.
