Love Overboard - a review
Yesterday I had a long wait at the doctor’s office and was very glad that I had brought along a book to read.

Love Overboard by Janet Evanovich |
When I first started reading this book, (I really hate admitting this) I really struggled to keep reading it. Now don’t get me wrong, I really love Janet Evanovich’s writing. This was one of her earlier works that was re-released. It had been originally published as Ivan Takes a Wife back in 1989.
| IVAN TAKES A WIFE (Loveswept, No 343) by Janet Evanovich |
I did manage to make my way through this book. After the first few chapters, the story started to pick up quite a bit and the book became tolerable. It wasn’t until close to the end that the current Evanovich humor really began to shine through.
This was definitely a diamond in the rough. The actual plot was a wonderful idea. However, it just wasn’t pulled off with the spectacular Evanovich panache that we have all come to love.
I do recommend reading this so that you can see the humble beginnings of a great writer.
Interesting.

You have more discipline than I do. I usually just give up a book after the first few chapters if I can’t connect with the storyline.
