The focus of this story is on a business woman who has found her true love but is now trying to figure out if marriage is possible for her. She has seen in her life many people who have sworn to love each other for forever and have failed miserably at that. She questions if she will or if he will be able to make the love last. The main character is also stressed with her friends, her job, her home life and her potential wedding that she looks to other things to help her get through this. I found the story to be a little annoying in the since that the author took a perfectly good story and tried to make it something more. I feel that the tale at times becomes too preachy to its audience and that this was adding in to make the tale better than it was; when in fact, it actually detracts from the story. As a reader in your mind, you are saying okay I get the message now move on with the story. It is almost like the author uses her tale to address social issues that she is concerned with and does it in a manner that insults the reader. It was really difficult for me to look past this and I would only recommend this story to someone who would not be annoyed with this continuous preaching.
