Finally Friday - Love May Fail by Matthew Quick

 Love May Fail by Matthew Quick is about the heartache and daring choices it takes to become the person you know deep down you are meant to be.  (back blurb)

Portia Kane escapes her cheating husband and fancy Florida life. She goes back home and tries to start a new life. She is sure that her old high school  English teacher, whom she adored, is a key to regaining faith in herself.  He retired after a violent incident in his classroom, and now she finds he is perhaps more desperate than she. They both need a reset. 

She encounters a few people - Chuck, handsome  brother of an old school  friend, a sassy nun, and a little  boy - who all help a bit to restore her faith in  the human race.  (back blurb)

I didn't love this  book, so  I guess it  failed  a bit. It was a tad too slick, a bit too enamored with its own cleverness.  The characters were a bit too broadly written, in  my opinion.  It had almost  too many coincidences to  keep  the plot rolling.   I was amused and the tale  was frothy.  I could  predict the ending and that can be okay.
