I liked this book because my favourite kind of chick lit are those in which both girl and boy don´t hit it off at the beginning and spend most of the book in heated arguments until they realize this is so because they like each other, leading to strong feelings. This book could keep it up.Nonethe...
This was actually a pretty good book, despite me reading it out of order! While I am OCD enough to want to have the backstory from the other novels in the series to understand the nuances in this one, it wasn't necessary, because the author did an excellent job of making this stand alone. Ellie...
Justine needed a vacation. Six months ago her long time best friend passed away, a man she'd been falling for betrayed her, and now her job as a reporter is in danger from downsizing. Now she's in Hawaii, on vacation, visiting a friend. Justine couldn't resist writing a story about a famous s...
In fact, it was pretty impossible to concentrate on anything advertising-related. My mind kept going back to the jogging trail and my naked chicken song and watching Sarah text her brother all night. During one of my lunch breaks, I started free-writing a scene—not set at ...
Sharona said under her breath as she walked beside Jeff toward the chase boat. He caught the hostile tone in her voice. What had changed in the past three hours? They’d discussed it and hadn’t they both agreed they were there to do their jobs? Sheil...
She felt well rested and yet her body seemed to have sunk into the bed and it didn’t want to move. When she tried to open her eyes, she squinted at the brightness. She smelled bacon. She couldn’t think of the last time she woke up to that smell in her apartment. When she considered why there woul...
There were no two ways about it: Justine was stunning. Though maybe it wasn’t the most appropriate thing to say to a woman he hadn’t seen in a year. But again, it was a reflex. “Well, that was subtle,” he said, going for self-deprecating. “You’ve probably noticed, I’m as s...
Since she couldn’t be expected to control physical reactions, she didn’t bother looking at him. “You’re late.” “It’s three minutes to noon,” he said. She lifted her chin to eye him. “Sorry. I’ll make i...
Abby was chatty as we walked down the footpath toward the beach, and I felt pretty damn special when I noticed how many times she glanced my way, until I realized she was actually eyeing the bag of food. I needed to feed this girl now. I was about to tell her we’d be eatin...
Vindication because Miles had flirted with her, or at least Aimee thought he was flirting. But it was also obvious he hadn’t recognized her, not one single spark of acknowledgment in his eyes. A lot had changed in the last two years. She’d shot up like a weed (as Dad put it), and everything else—...
Molly asked. I must have shaken my head.“Please, Abby.” She sniffed. Her voice sounded watery. “Abby, please.” Blankly, numbly, I stared past her and into my front yard. The leaves were starting to turn—yellows, oranges, and reds before a crystal blue backdrop. Malibu was exceptionally cheerful i...
