WHAT LOOKS LIKE CRAZY
CHARLOTTE HUGHES
Rating: 3.5 Enchantments
Psychologist Kate Holly has a lot to deal with. Case in point, her divorce from her husband is almost final; her mother and aunt have decided to erect a vaguely sexual statue in her front yard that has the nosy neighbor across the street covering it with a sheet; her ex-boyfriend is still trying to lure her back; and now she's getting mysterious threats. At first, Kate puts off the threats on the neighbor across the street - after all, egging a door doesn't seem to be that far off the norm for her. But when the threats start to escalate, Kate has to rethink her suspect list.
The opening of the story held a lot of promise, with Dr. Holly talking down a patient from the rooftop while not getting close enough to get pulled down in case he decided to take the plunge. From there, however, it had a lot of ups and downs. At times I thought the story fell a little flat. While Mona and the Junk Sisters were interesting characters, I'm not sure they made as big a contribution to the story as they could have. While I liked Jay, the hero, I'm glad he didn't play as big in the story as the back cover blurb would lead you to believe.
Not to say that there aren't some great scenes in the book. I really enjoyed the makeover Mona gave Kate before they go to the Junk Sisters' big opening night, where Kate runs into her soon-to-be-ex Jay, looking nothing less than a million bucks, and thanks to a dare from Mona, has to somehow let him know she's wearing a thong without flashing the entire crowd. That was one scene that had me laughing out loud.
