002 - Hello, It's Me by Wendy MarkHam

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

I grabbed this book to read  because I got  in  on part  of  it in movie form on Halmark and wanted to read the book. As  usual I think I liked the book  more then I liked the movie but for the  most part the two  are completely  different from  each other  minus the  main plot  points  of a young  mother Annie  trying to move on after her husband dies suddenly.  But she doesn't really want to  move on  to start with and keeps calling her husband's  cellphone just to hear  his outgoing message. As  she does this though  it seems as though  her husband (Andre)  is trying to reach out to her through the phone. She belivies she can hear his voice off in the distance  in spurts and fragments  when she calls his phone  during times  of bad weather.    Enters James  though. A handsome wealthy  young  man that is quickly  taken with her  and her young children. 

It is a good story. Sad and a very real  in  moments as you see Annie struggle with the promises that she made to Andre  "One love; one lifetime"  and realizing that she can  love again with James even though  part  of  her  doesn't want to  let go  of Andre. 

I gave this  one 4  out  of 5 stars  on goodreads.   The subplot stories in the book were also  better in the book then in the movie. It gave you  more insight  into James'  side  of  trying to figure  out where his  place in Annie's life was suppose to be because he honestly does want to respect   her and the memory  of Andre  


Technically  this is my  third  book  of the year but  my 2nd one  is part  of a compilations  or stories that I will review together when I finish (but I get to count  each  part as one book on goodreads. So win win. 

So right now I am  reading:  Complete Harmony by Julia Kent  &  Tricky Twenty-Two by Janet Evanovich.
