To sum up my thoughts of What Looks Like Crazy, in two words, is actually pretty easy - loved it!! This was such a fun and all around entertaining story and it was so easy to fall into the pages. The main character of Kate is awesome. She is a Psychologist who seems to be sent the craziest of the crazy. As she tries to make sense of her topsy turvy life, she must try to help set the lives of others straight.

With a cast of wacky and lovable characters, Ms. Hughes tells a delightful story that is sure to bring many laughs, as well as make the reader fall in love with Kate, Jay, the soon to be ex-husband, Mona, Kate's best friend and anything but shy secretary, Kate's Mother, Aunt and so many more. I found myself even adoring Kate's stray mutt, Mike, who it turns out is a girl pregnant with puppies!

What Looks Like Crazy is extremely well written, tons of fun and a great quick read to relax with. Nutcase is the follow-up to this, due out Feb. 24th and I can't wait! Fans of Janet Evanovich, Shirley Jump, Susan Donovan and similar authors, will delight in Charlotte Hughes and What Looks Like Crazy!

*overall rating 4.5/5

About the book:

Kate is trained to deal with everyone's problems—except her own...

Psychologist Kate Holly's own life has become the stuff of intensive therapy. She's divorcing Jay, her gorgeous firefighter husband, who is perfect except for his tendency to put his life on the line. Her eccentric secretary lures in clients with promises of free manicures. Her junk-art-collecting mother and aunt have erected a vaguely sexual sculpture in her front yard. And, her psychiatrist ex-boyfriend refers patients to her in return for information on the color of her panties.

Struggling to keep her sanity gets harder every day, especially when Kate starts getting bombarded with mysterious threats that could be from just about any lunatic in Atlanta. She's treated them all. And the only person who can help Kate is the one man who always makes her lose her mind—and her heart...
