This is a humorous story of
two inventors from different states who essentially invent the same
device. They meet in NY when their patent is taken to court to decide
rights. Sparks fly throughout the book both literally and
metaphorically. It was an entertaining, light read and I really liked
it. The premise was definitely unusual; Ive never read a story about a female inventor so it felt fresh. The characters were likeable and pretty well rounded. I was trying to think throughout the book who the female lead reminded me of and it was a childhood storybook character..Amelia Bedelia? Miss Piggle Wiggle? Maybe a combination of the two. So you get the idea. Kinda zany.
It is important to realize that "Head Over Heels" is first and foremost a comedy (and a romance second).Yes its silly but that's intentional and part of the charm.
I could honestly recommend it for all ages, there was no cussing, no sex, no violence. It's listed as inspirational but there is absolutely no preachiness in it at all.
Bottom line: I think Margaret Brownley is one of my new favorite authors and I'll be looking for more of her books.
