Reviewed by Lori Plach for Reader Views (3/07)
Would you like to read a book which will have you laugh, cry and contemplate God's will in your life and relationships all at the same time? If so, you will not want to miss "Too Good to Be True." This book certainly lives up to its name, only it could be called Too Good to Miss.
Rennie Young is a princess in her own right. She hasn't exactly awoken to the kiss of her prince. But when she opens her eyes after passing out in WalMart, she meets a male nurse named Truman Sayers. Their chance meeting creates an interesting path to friendship and possibly more.
Rennie has been burned terribly in her past relationships. Rennie has developed great friendships with her fellow teachers including a male teacher by the name of Jeremy. But is it just genuine friendship that he feels for Rennie? The anniversary of her divorce from Greg has arrived. She is afraid of building a relationship with any man because she feels that they will all treat her the same way. Greg has apparently gone on with his life as Rennie and her mother run into him at a store with his new wife and son. It becomes painfully obvious that Greg had cheated on her. All of the best laid plans have gone up in smoke!
It had all been planned; she and Greg were all set to adopt Casey, one of Rennie's students. Casey is a delightful 2nd grader who doesn't understand when he will get to live with Rennie and have a real mom. Rennie really loves all of her students but she shows that she has a very special spot for young Casey. Despite Rennie's dislike of the whole process of foster children, Casey begins seeing his birthmother again.
Kara is everybody's kind of good friend. She tries to encourage Rennie to let go of her inhibitions and take up Truman's invite to dinner. Kara is dealing with her own growing relationship with Gabe. She is so happy she just wants her best friend to be as happy as she is. Rennie says that "I never date for fun, Tru. I see dating as a step." That is exactly the way he feels too. Rennie and Truman then have a whirlwind of a romance. He takes her to nice dinners and visits at many of the famous Washington, DC, tourist spots. Is this labor-delivery male nurse just too good to be true?
One of the most touching parts of "Too Good to Be True" is when his area of expertise is called upon on one of their dates. Rennie sees a different side of Truman Sayers when he is involved with bringing a new baby into the world while on a date with her. The road to true love never does run entirely smooth and their relationship is no different.
"Too Good to Be True" combines a delightful story which blends humor, genuine friendship traits, and romance all in one. . Both Rennie and Truman are dealing with mothers who are having difficulties with apron strings and letting their children, no matter how old they are, grow up and leave them. The reader will feel like they have to differentiate between what is genuine motherly love and caring for elderly parents and dependence on grown children.
Trish Perry is truly a wonderful writer. She draws you into the story and gives you a story which is very difficult to put down until you are on the last page of the book. I can hardly wait till she writes another book. I recommend this book, "Too Good to Be True," to anyone who loves a great story and unbounded romance. Rennie Young is like a "Snow White" person whose Prince Charming doesn't come on a horse, but rather is there when she needs him, inside WalMart.
Summary of Too Good to Be True
Trish Perry, author of the charming novel The Guy I?m Not Dating, follows up with a contemporary, humorous tale of how love and life unfold in surprising ways.
Rennie Young, heroine of Too Good to Be True, meets the gallant Truman Sayers after she faints in the boys? department of the local super store. Despite this unromantic introduction, Tru Sayers, a handsome young labor?and?delivery nurse, seems like a gift from God. But a recent divorce and other life disappointments cause Ren to question whether she can trust her heart and God.
This clever novel encourages readers to lean on God?s leading and to be open to life after the hurt?even when it seems too good to be true.
