Finding Colin Firth (Original)

I enjoyed the story and even though I am a huge fan of Colin Firth, I didn't mind that the book really has very little, if nothing to do with him. But, it did frustrate me that several of the references to Pride and Prejudice were inaccurate. The line quoted, " you bewitched me......" was not from the 1995 BBC version starring Firth, but rather the 2005 version and the author makes several references to colin emerging from the lake dripping wet. He didn't. You see him dive in and then in the next seen he is wearing a barely damp shirt as he comes across Elizabeth on the grounds of His estate. He did look sexy bit we never see him emerge "dripping wet."

The description of life in Booth Bay, ME is worth the read, but this delightful book offers far more. It's a great example of synchronicity at work - how lives intertwine at the right time in the right place when they're ready to receive the answers to the questions they've been asking. Throw in some magic elixir pies, characters you really care about and of course, the elusive Colin Firth and you know you're in for a good read.

Nice easy read and if you like baking & Colin Firth you are laughing ! Story line made sense. Really enjoyed it.

I love this book! It's hard to put down and I'm always looking forward to the times when I have time to pick it up again. I'm only half way through it (I only read at night when I'm read to go to sleep). The story is very intriguing with each character connected in some way. The themes in this novel seem to be about pregnancy, motherhood and happiness even when there are struggles in life.

I was looking forward to reading a story that took place in Boothbay Harbor because my parents lived there for 20 years and I spent part of each summer there as a child and an adult. I can understand not using people’s names in a novel but why couldn’t the author use the names of streets and restaurants or the local candy store. The story was an okay summer read provided you know nothing about the area.
