Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: A ghost with an attitude! What a perfect plot! I agree with the reader that recomends you not to start it at bed time. You just can't put it down. The heroine is a bit confused, but who wouldn't be in her situation? This book makes you laugh, makes you cry and just feels your heart with such warmth, that you have to keep it and read it again when life becomes too much. It gives hope to everyone. I loved it and recommend it.

Summary: ok, It's more like 3 and 1/2 stars...
Comment: I read "The more I see you" by Lynn Kurland first and I was impressed. The book was excellent, humorous, sweet, romantic... it was perfect. I thought I had found an author to rival my favorite Jude Deveraux. So, I decided to buy another book of hers, and what could be best than "Stardusts of Yesterday" that has the most amazing reviews and book prizes?
Please, allow me to say I was sorely disappointed. It was perhaps, as the book critics said, a very good debut. It certainly shows that the author has possilities, good ideas and a very good writing style. So, you probably wonder, why did you rate it with only 3 stars? Well, the first half of the book was very very good indeed, almost perfect. I will agree with another user that the way her "loving" staff left her was unbelievable to say the least, but at least it saved us a lot of introduction pages before the story really began. When Genevieve meets her ghost and gets to know him better it's sweet, tender, humorous sometimes, a real page turner. But after the ghost becomes corporeal the story keeps falling and losing its interest with every page. Of course, we all have realized who the vilain is, so there's no interest there (not that I always want mystery in my romances, but it could keep this story going a bit more...). Also, I found her fear of making love to the man she loves a bit too much. Being 30 years old means that you've learned some thing in life -even if you haven't tried them yourself- unlike 16 years old girls, such as making love for the first time won't kill you from pain. Anyway in my opinion, the ghost became real, they slept together, end of story. Instead for over 100 pages, we get to read the same dialogs: "I love you", "I love you more", "I love you too", "I love you more than life", "I'll love you all my life" and so on...
I consider myself a romantic person, I've read almost 100 historical romance books and loved most of them, but I found this almost nauseating... Ok, we got the idea, they are in love. What else now? I kept turning the pages waiting for something new to happen, instead found myself reading again and again how good Kendrick was at making milkshakes (he must have made over 10 in the whole book) and how wonderful peanutbutter and chocolate chips taste.
At least, after reading "The more I see you", it was obvious that the author has talent and certainly improves over time. I already have ordered 2 more of her books and I believe I'll enjoy them. Now, if you like this kind of romances: sweet, pink, cinderella stories and are satisfied reading about the heroes just speak love words to each other over and over again this is the book for you. To me, it seems that this book is not for anyone over 20 years old. Or you could read the first part, where Kendrick was a ghost and throw it out of the window after you finsh it.
