Flirting With Pete by Barbara Delinsky (2003, Hardcover)

This story was a romance, but with twists and some very deep psychological issues being dealt with. I enjoy reading Barbara Delinski and have many of her books. This book was sold at a reasonable price and was in excellent condition.

Barbara Delinsky has a wonderful way of creating characters who are believeable and sincere. I really liked the "story within a story" - she kept me on my toes and wanting more. Easy to read and very hard to put down. You won't be disappointed!

If you've read Barbara Delinsky before, you're used to reading a great book. No disappointment here either. Picture yourself as a grown, successful woman, who has yearned for her biological father to contact and acknowledge her. Then he dies and all her hopes are dashed. How would you feel?? That premise is what makes this another interesting book. I'm never let down when I put up one of this author's books. Hope you enjoy this one!

Firstly, it's highly unlike me to be reading this Genre at all, BUT "Peyton Place" & "Return to Peyton Place" led me to "Looking for Peyton Place" which led me to Barbara Delinsky. Scary how one thing leads to another. Anyway, this is perhaps the 8th or so Delinsky book I've read, and it was quite satisfying. This book had two stories in one, both which intertwine towards the end in a way I just didn't see coming. I was riveted in the second story and the mystery of the outcome of it. It's intriguing when Casey goes on the mission to find what happened to Jenny.. and actually finds her answer. Could we all be so lucky?

Many times I can guess where her stories are going, but plod along anyway for the fluff factor. These books are a nice diversion for a long, cold winter. I guess I'm giving this an excellent rating too, because of my personal experiences, and relationship with my own mother. If you enjoy BD romances, I highly recommend this pleasing little gem.
