both of these handsome, charming men? A good friend from
Uni answered that question. Chose a love story and stick to

I must admit I did not agree with her choice. I finished the
book
with a heavy heart but felt better as I read the epilogue.

romantic and nostalgic weekend in Paris. Remembering where
their love began, a perfect place to propose and Maddy said,
"YES."

with buckets of charm, laughter, bittersweet memories, and, in

feelings after reading YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT, it would
be wondrous! I loved it! Giovanna Fletcher has a new fan.
