"Sweet and hopeful, Francesca’s story is just right for chick-lit
readers looking for something with a little emotional heft but a
happy ending (and a dog)."—Booklist
"Shaffer is at her best telling Chicky's story, a throwback to
potboilers of the 1920s, giving this single-gal redemption story
unexpected depth."—Publishers Weekly
"It is not the easiest thing to bring two timelines to life in a
single book….Shaffer makes it work, though. More: she makes it
sing."—January Magazine
"I loved Shaffer’s earlier novels, Serendipity, The Three Miss
Margarets, Family Acts and The Ladies of Garrison Gardens. Looking
for a Love Story is a wonderful addition to the list.….will likely
go on my list of favorite novels for 2010."—The Pilot (NC)
