Review: Pinch Me

Pinch Me by Adena Halpern

Summary: LILY MARRIED THE MAN OF HER DREAMS. THEN SHE WOKE UP.

“Never marry a man unless he’s short, bald, fat, stupid, and treats you badly.” That is the advice that twenty-nine-year-old Lily Burns has heard her entire life from her grandmother Dolly and her mother, Selma. Despite this, when she meets Gogo, the handsome, successful pediatrician who treats her like a queen, she has no choice but to let her heart take over. When she agrees to marry him, Dolly and Selma are inconsolable. They decide it’s time to tell her the truth: their family is cursed. If she marries for love, there will be unimaginable consequences.

Nevertheless, Lily and Gogo elope. Unable to believe her good fortune, Lily asks Gogo to pinch her—to make sure all this isn’t just a dream. The moment he does, Lily finds herself transported back to the house she lived in when she was single. Gogo is gone. When Lily tracks him down, she finds that he’s married to someone else and has no memory of her. In this modern fairy tale, Lily must find a way to break the curse and turn her nightmare back into a dream come true.

My Thoughts: Pinch Me by Adena Halpern is a light, fun read. It’s the perfect book for reading by the pool (or on the beach) during summer. Or anytime you want a pick-me-up book. It’s like a modern-day fairy tale, complete with Prince Charming and an evil witch figure. There were moments that made me chuckle, and several that had me flat-out grinning.

There were a few typos in the book, but nothing that was all that distracting. And they were few and far between, which makes a huge difference.

While it didn’t knock me off my feet and leave me wowed, overall, Pinch Me is a great book that I’d recommend to my friends and my readers. I look forward to reading more books by Adena Halpern.
