{Book Synopsis}
Charlotte Wells does not date. After surviving a broken engagement, she's taken a leave of absence from the social scene. So when her best friend and coworker, Jack, challenges her to get back in the game, she's not so sure she's ready to play. But ultimately, curiosity gets the best of her, and Charlotte accepts the daunting challenge: she will attempt to have fifty first dates in her effort to find "the one." Unfortunately, she quickly realizes that the dating pool mostly holds clown fish as she goes on one lousy outing after another. Without a good man in sight as summer ends, Charlotte cuts her losses and sets her sights on a fun-filled trip to her cousin's destination wedding in Brazil.
Brazil is a land of beautiful sights and delicious offerings—including Max, the charming brother of her cousin's new husband. Max has all the makings of a Prince Charming in soccer cleats, and Charlotte's happily ever after seems to be within reach. But love is a funny thing, and soon Charlotte finds herself wondering: could it be that her true soul mate has been right in front of her all along?

{My Review}
This was a cute book. I liked the main character Charlotte and her friend and co-worker Jack. Right from the beginning I loved their friendship and couldn't wait to read the chapters where they were together. As Charlotte was dating other guys I felt bad for her as every guy just turned out to be "Mr. Wrong". Even when she goes to her cousin's wedding in Brazil and starts falling for the grooms brother, something was off. 

It was fun to read about Charlotte's vacation to Brazil but it's funny how this wasn't my favorite part of the book. I actually loved the first part as Charlotte found her first home to buy and Jack and her parents were helping her to fix it up. 

This book is written with many Latter-Day Saint (LDS) ideas and the main characters talk a lot of things that some not of this religion may not be familiar with. I didn't feel this detracted from the story at all but just know there is talk of religion and God. 

I was happy about the ending but I just wish that there had been an epilogue detailing how things had turned out for everyone in the book. I wanted to know how Charlotte and Jack's new business had done, how her cousin's new marriages were doing and how long it took for her and a certain man to get married. 

This book is a fun one to read with great romance, terrific descriptions of vacationing in Brazil, and the ups and downs of dating. There are so many things that will bring a smile to your face by reading 'Wish Me Love'.
