Synopsis: Abby Halladay has the perfect life. Or, rather, she will…as long as everything goes exactly according to plan. Abby never leaves anything to chance—not her job as a syndicated columnist, not her engagement to her fiancé, Fred, and certainly not her impending wedding in Paris (New Jersey, that is). Unfortunately for Abby, even the best-laid plans often go awry—like when Fred runs away to Paris (France, that is), her column is canned, and her dream home is diagnosed with termites. Forced to move back in with her parents and drive her dad’s cab, Abby’s perfect life has now officially become the perfect disaster. Then a funny thing happens. Slowly but surely, Abby begins letting go of her dreams of perfection. As she does, the messy, imperfect life she thought she never wanted starts to feel exactly like the one she needs.
Review: Ever have a book where you don't want to leave the characters? Where you stop reading and want to write to the author DEMANDING a sequel? Yup, this is one of those books! I really didn't want the ending to happen like it did- I wanted it to sequeway into a sequel! Abby is beyond charming-she is someone that most of us can relate to, understand and empathisize with! The secrets that make up her world start cracking when she moves home, and like dominoes they break open and affect others, like the aforementioned termites. But the result is fresh and sweet, honest and open, and will leave you with a smile on your face! I finished it in one sitting, as I couldn't put it down! This is a perfect beach/pool read, that will have you scrambling for more books by the author! And for a sequel!
About the Author A long time ago, in an elementary school far, far away, a very young Kathleen scribbled a story idea in her journal. Then she wrote another, and another. She added several poems, the lyrics to a song or two, a love letter to David Cassidy, and so on and so on. While her early writings never saw the light of day, many of her later works did. And while she did not marry David Cassidy, Kathleen did marry her own Prince Charming. Together, they are raising one drama queen and one obedience-challenged border collie mix in a kingdom divided between suburban Philadelphia and the Jersey shore.
Kathleen is the RITA® nominated, RIO Award and two-time Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence winning author of fourteen novels of contemporary romance, suspense and women's fiction. Her additional honors include National Readers Choice, Holt Medallion, and Booksellers Best award nominations. She divides her time between plotting her next book, bribing her little one to pick up her toys, and begging the dog to heel. Life is good. Very, very good. Please visit her at www.kathleenlong.com.
