Summary: A must read for "Beaches" fans!!!!
Review: "When I Fall In Love" was a great read. Iris never fails to hold my interest. Lily and Charlie start out on one foot and finish on the other. It is a book that I read in 2 days. It shows readers how people act in show business. I recommend it to anyone who read her other books and even to people who didn't.

Summary: Readers will fall in love with this poignant, upbeat romance
Review: TV comedy writer Lily Benjamin is depressed over the death of her long time friend, mentor, and boss Harry Green. The producers of the hit sitcom Angel's Devils hire acid-tongued Charlie Roth to replace the popular Harry. At their first meeting, Lily and Charlie seem to rub each other the wrong way. Besides his not cutting her any slack over being a single mother raising a teenage boy, she finds his jokes about his physical handicap to be in poor taste. Lily's world collapses even further when her physically active son is injured during a domestic dispute. His injuries leave him paralyzed with the firm belief he has no future. Only Charlie can get inside his head and help him adjust to his condition. As she watches the abrasive Charlie helps her son adjust, Lily sees and falls in love with the inner being. Charlie also falls in love with Lily, but decides she needs a "complete" male for a spouse. Lily wants Charlie and plans to do whatever it takes to get him. Readers who enjoy a poignant, passionate contemporary tale hold Iris Rainer Dart in high esteem. Her latest novel, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE, is as deep as any novel ever gets because of the characters. Lily and Charlie struggle to adjust to his being wheelchair bound for life. The abrasive Charlie shows them that there is much left in the future for all of three them to look forward to if they go after it. Ms. Dart leaves her audience with a wonderful message that anyone can do just about anything if they only try. Harriet Klausner

Summary: A decent summer read!
Review: After all the excitement that I had heard about this book, I was a bit disappointed. The book was a good read but not great. I enjoyed the relationship between Charlie and Bryan more than I did between Charlie and Lily. If you do miss reading this book this summer - just catch it another time.

Summary: I know wherof I speak
Review: Altho I am not a person with a disability, I have been around disabled people my lifetime (I'm 42). I found Dart's treatment of this subject to be incredibly right on. People fear disability, and tend to treat anyone disabled with kid gloves, as if they are saints and imbecils, both. Lily does all the stereotypes of the freaked out "non-disabled" mom, the son goes through typical grief stages, and so on. I don't want to give away the whole story as is my wont. I loved the interplay of the characters, and I fell for the unlikely (in fiction) love-interest, Charlie Roth. Go for the book-- it is well done!

Summary: Shallow writing...
Review: As the wife of a spinal cord injured man, I was eager to read this novel. However, I was hugely disappointed with the simple way it brushed through the traumatic issues of rehab, grief, and acceptance -- on the entire family's part, not just the young man's. While I didn't expect a medical tome on the subject of SCI, in just a few pages everyone had adjusted beautifully -- thanks to some pretty lame comedy -- and lives happily ever. Very unrealistic. These characters are one-dimensional, each one straining blood vessels to be funny. Thumbs down.

Summary: Better Than "Beaches", Dart's Most Well Known Book!
Review: Author Dart has labored in the trenches of writing television comedy herself so what better protagonists to bring to a story than two comedy writers for a television show? The heroine is already engaged to a handsome heart surgeon when she meets Charlie, known as The King Of Jokes, who is her new writing boss. Any novel that features a heroine who picks a comedy writer hero, who also has a disability, after dumping the heart surgeon, is/was a must read for me! The best love story of 1999.
