Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand: A Novel
My Thoughts: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was such an appealing story that kept me reading and wanting to find out what happens to the characters. As much as there is the love story, I don’t think it quite fits fully into the chick lit category. The book is quite charming with interesting characters and would appeal to everyone.
