5.0 out of 5 stars
Great,
By Melissa Reid "Mellie" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Suddenly Single (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading about Alix, seeing her way through losing the man she loves because of her deep seeded issues from childhood. She was a frustrating character but enjoyable nonetheless, total career woman, but i felt she really wanted to be different, but her childhood issues made her afraid. It was a fast read i loved it.

I like this Author!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Suddenly Single (Paperback)
Sheila O'Flanagan is really growing on me. The books I have read so far seem to have a set formula, but I really like her. I liked Alix's story, from fighting to stay ahead in the banking world to dealing with issues from her childhood. I would like to have seen more of the relationship with Matt develop, but it was a good read.

Suddenly single,
By Vanessa Winans (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Suddenly Single (Paperback)
I discovered the books of Sheila O'Flanagan just a month ago, during a trip to Ireland. I bought "He's Got To Go" on a whim; I liked the book so much, I made a special run to Canada for more! O'Flanagan specializes in female protagonists who are strong, seemingly in control of their successful lives -- and then utterly stunned when love goes awry. Alix Callaghan fits the type to a tee -- a banker at the top of her game, generally out of touch with her feelings, rigidly in charge of her mostly-male office, and living with a man she loves. Trouble is, he wants a family, and a more traditional partner -- and Alix can't be that woman. The book focuses on Alix's journey from a bewildered, rejected, and ultimately lost person to someone with a bit more balance and perspective in her life. Anyone who's ever been unexpectedly dumped (and utterly unable to cope) will identify with her actions -- spying on her ex and his new love is just one example. Meanwhile, O'Flanagan weaves in a sub-plot about Alix's father, who walked out on her, her sister and her mother when Alix was just 3. The family dynamics ring true; her domestic, slightly nosy older sister and concerned, and also slightly nosy, mother are believable, sympathetic characters. As is Alix, really: even in 2003, it can be difficult to be a woman in a man's world, constantly striving to prove herself, and shutting down her softer side in the process. A good read? You bet. And definitely worth the border crossing!
