A summer reading light, positive and not too cutesy

Restore a good relationship with his father when he is dead for years? But if it wants to accomplish the last will and maternal hit the jackpot, Brett will reach ten of these goals before the first anniversary of the death of Elizabethe.

I went several times in this novel before I decide to buy it without more inspirational reading. On one hand, I sensed a feel good factor always welcome; on the other, I feared a stratospheric rate sentimentality. In the end, the results are pretty good. True, the story is completely implausible and without major surprises. It should be taken as a modern fairy tale with the princess would be forced to save itself (although with maternal strength kicks in the foundation and attentive with a charming lawyer). But if we want to leave out any aspiration to any realism, we spent a lovely time to read the misadventures of Brett, and sometimes, one is moved or inspired by what happens to him. "Tomorrow is another day" will not change your life but if you are looking for a light summer reading, positive and not too corny, here you go!
