Rendition In Favor Of Books Emily and Einstein
He was a man who didn’t deserve a second chance. But he needed one…Emily and her husband Sandy Portman seemed to live a gracious if busy life in an old-world, Upper West Side apartment in the famous Dakota building. But one night on the way to meet Emily, Sandy dies in a tragic accident. The funeral isn't even over before Emily learns she is on the verge of being evicted from their apartment. But worse than the possibility of losing her home, Emily is stunned when she discovers that her marriage was made up of lies.
Suddenly Emily is forced on a journey to find out who her husband really was . . . all the while feeling that somehow he isn't really gone. Angry, hurt, and sometimes betrayed by loving memories of the man she lost, Emily finds comfort in a scruffy dog named Einstein. But is Einstein's seemingly odd determination that she save herself enough to make Emily confront her own past? Can he help her find a future—even after she meets a new man?

When I first read the review I thought, no way - a jerk who dies and comes back as a dog in his wife's life? I am not a big dog lover so I didn't think this was for me. However, I have to say, I am loving it! I know it sounds a little far fetched, but you have to try it to understand that it really is a great book and very realistic, given the premise. Don't know how it will end, but with 100 pages left I will find out soon!*******I FINISHED IT!! Had to lock myself in the bathroom for the lastA perfect light read; different, a little quirky and emotionally satisfying. Its an uplifting story of love and redemption and undoing wrongs. Linda Francis Lees writing style is witty and engaging. She pulls you in and takes you on a journey that effortlessly moves between fantasy and reality. Fantasy because Emilys husband, killed in an accident returns as a dog, reality because the book does deal with the ups and downs of marriage, cheating husbands, a difficult mother-in-law and putting your
Read a book your mom loves.This is going to be a strange non-review.I have a lot on my heart and my mind that I'd like to share with you all, but I've been struggling with the platform with which to share it. I know I've written personal reviews on here before and its been therapeutic in getting out the things that I'm not really able to say out loud. I read this book over the summer and it stuck with me even though its not usually the type of book I read. It was weirdly reminiscent of my life
4.5 - He sure didn't deserve a second chance....I'm a little scared for the rating for this book. I think sometimes people have trouble keeping certain parts and feelings about a book or its characters separate. Sandy is a characters that's beyond easy to hate. And I mean passionately. That fact is going to color this book for a lot of people even though it maybe shouldn't.I can hate a character and not hate a story. Actually, in some ways, in some books, it makes it better. It makes you think,
Finally -- a book for any woman married to a dog of a two-timing husband who just wishes he would turn into ... uh, well ... a dog! Emily is a young widow in New York City who discovers in quick succession that a) she is about to lose her apartment in the famed Dakota building (of John Lennon fame), in part because b) her late husband was a scum-bag, a fact she unfortunately discovers too late, and c)the scruffy pet dog she adopted upon the death of her husband has, at times, surprisingly human
Got an ARC from the publisher. This book doesn't neatly fit into one category - it's not a full on romance, despite having some romantic interludes and it's not quite tragic because the male narrator is so pompous.Sandy, who is killed in an accident while on the way to tell his wife that he wants a divorce, is given the chance to make things right. The catch is, he is allowed to do so in the form of an ugly dog named Einstein. I liked that he was an unlikeable character - Lee didn't have him
I won this Book through Goodreads First Reads.I LOVED, LOVED LOVED this book. What took so long to read it is beyond me. Once I started reading I couldn't hardly wait until the next day to read it.Now on to the book. The book was WONDERFUL. The dog was humorous and I laughed out loud a lot. Before Sandy became a dog he had made a lot of mistakes in his marriage to Emily. That was the sad part of the story. The book is highly recommended to those that want humor in their life.Sandy does learn a
