You know I loves me a story with a dog in it. Especially one
where the dog is trying desperately to communicate with his human because he’s
been reincarnated. Have I sparked your interest yet?
So, the synopsis: Sandy Portman, at first seems to be a man
with it all: Career, money, loving wife whom he loves (supposedly). And then we get to see
beyond his cover and what’s inside is sort of hideous. Here’s a man who has it
all and doesn’t really deserve it. Enter karma. On a nasty New York night, it
all comes to a head for Sandy when he dies tragically in an accident while on
his way to meet his wife Emily (to tell an unsuspecting and devoted wife that he wants a divorce). Obviously, Emily’s life is turned
upside-down when she discovers she’s about to be evicted from her husband’s
family’s apartment and her husband was the epitome of scum. Through it all,
however, Emily finds comfort in a scruffy dog named Einstein. What she doesn’t
realize is her new best friend is really her husband, sent back to make amends.
I really liked this book. Sandy was definitely a putz but as
a dog, it was sometimes hard to hate him. This was a solid, feel-good book –
perfect for an easy summer read. Recommended: Yes!
