In HEROES ARE MY WEAKNESS, Annie has not been back in her hometown for years, but when her mother tells her to go back, she does. Annie's life has been up and down, but going home is going to be her biggest challenge ever.
As teens, Theo and Annie had been a little more than friends. Annie is not looking forward to seeing him again. Her mother had been married to Theo's father for a short time. So while Theo lives in the main house now, Annie is in the cottage. Theo doesn't really want her there. Annie feels that Theo is a psycho because of the best-selling novel he has written. Their lives collide like you wouldn't believe.
I have always loved Susan Elizabeth Phillips novels. While this one is not really one of my favorites, it is still very good. The feelings between the two main characters is very confusing in parts. They were friends as teenagers, but not so much as adults. Susan tells the backstory as to why these two good friends are now at odds with each other. I also felt that in some parts, HEROES ARE MY WEAKNESS is kind of slow reading, and I did lose my attention to the story line.
