Anne McAneny is on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Our Eyes Met Over Cantaloupe. The story follows Millie Morris after she endures a bad breakup- over fried eggs. Her ex informs her calmly that he has moved on- with their real estate agent. Millie is devastated, blindsided, but tries to continue on with life as normal. She works as a crime reporter, and also helps her mom run her cupcake shop The Secret Lives of Cupcakes. Just when she thinks her heart is healed, her ex comes back in a big way- he wants her back. Will Millie choose to give him a second chance, or will she ever find the strange man that made her heart flutter when their eyes met over cantaloupe at the supermarket?
I could tell from McAneny’s blog that she is a comedic writer, so I was looking forward to a book filled with laughs- and that is just what I got. The writing is snappy, the characters are fresh and funny, and plenty of scenes had me laughing out loud. And I just adored reading about the cupcake shop! And salivated a bit as well. This book will leave you craving for cupcakes, give you plenty of laughs, and also be very entertaining to read. There were a few times that I wanted to give Millie a good shake and tell her to stop letting her slimy ex worm his back into her life, but, hey- that happens right? The ending even gave me a nice surprise, and overall, I really enjoyed this book. I recommend it to chick lit fans!
