About the author

Michelle Moore is a fourth-generation Washington, DC native, definitely a rarity in this day and age. She has a well-documented obsession with travel, television, Frappuccinos, and flamingos. All of these, however, come in a distant second to her love of both writing and teaching. Her days are pretty evenly divided between her classroom, where she teaches elementary special education, and huddling over her laptop at the local Starbucks. What few hours left in the day are spent serving the needs of the household menagerie that currently includes cats (one with cerebellar hypoplasia), chinchillas, a bird, and a geriatric guinea pig. Now that she has achieved her goal of becoming a published author, she's ready to start working toward her second lifelong dream… a flat in Paris and a villa on Grenada.

[Quốc Anh Đào · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cuốn sách tạo ra một tình huống hơi gượng, nhưng đã dẫn dắt người đọc vào một câu chuyện dành được nhiều sự đồng cảm: tình yêu và những vấn đề xoay quanh nó. Tác giả khá khéo léo khi lồng ghép các câu chuyện và đưa ra những kết luận hợp lý, dù tất cả chỉ từ góc nhìn của bản thân tác giả - một người phụ nữ.

Dù vậy, mình vẫn mong muốn có những phần mang tính nghiên cứu và khách quan hơn (chắc do thói quen đọc báo cáo và số liệu).
