		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been wanting to write an article recently reminiscing about Chick Lit Plus. I always tell people starting CLP was the best decision I’ve made (besides recently undergoing Lasik surgery), and it is the truth. The friendships I’ve made, the professional connections, and the knowledge and opportunities that have come my way make me think of how lucky I am. I wear many hats – book reviewer, editor, blog tour coordinator, publisher, author – but I love my busy life and working hard at something I truly enjoy and can say with all my heart I have a passion for.
I fell in love with books at a young age, thanks to the influence of my mother and grandmother. I knew I wanted to be a writer myself, and after graduating college with my BS in business, I decided to put some sort of plan into action. I bought my first laptop (even though I was online student the last two years of college – figure that out) and started researching. I kept coming across book blogs, since I didn’t even really know what the word “blog” meant, I had to do some research on that. After I had a better grasp on blogging and what book bloggers were doing, I searched for a web designer and Chick Lit Plus was put into motion. 
So, I had my blog. Then I froze. I remember thinking – how do I get followers? What books do I review? What did I get myself into? I started making trips to the library once a week, checking out anything that looked interesting (mostly those with pink covers) and spilling my thoughts on the book, posting them for everyone to see. I joined Twitter and made a Facebook page for Chick Lit Plus, starting accumulating fans, and within three months had authors and publishers sending me books to review.  
Before I started CLP, I had already joined the chick lit fan club. Most books I was checking out could fall in the category, and I was absolutely adoring them. I dove deeper into the genre, looking for some fabulous books to be my first reviews. Which made the top five cut? 
1.	The Agency by Ally O’Brien
2.	The First Assistant by Clare Naylor &#038; Mimi Hare
3.	Bliss by Danyel Smith
4.	Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin
5.	The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie
It’s fun to look back at those first few books that caught my attention purely based on covers alone (besides Nicole Richie – I’ve always just been a fan). I actually didn’t even know Emily Giffin as EMILY GIFFIN when I read Something Borrowed. I checked out the book with a pink cover. Anything with pink, drinks, lollipops, or shopping bags made it in my pile. Now, I’m super lucky to be sent amazing books each week for my reviewing pleasure. I love being a part of the chick lit community, I am so thankful to all the wonderful people I have met along the way, and I’m thrilled to be taking part in the Chick Lit International Month for the second year in a row. Cheers to chick lit – now go read a book!

		<description><![CDATA[While I haven’t seen this movie, when I received a copy of the book I was looking forward to it. I had seen the previews and I thought Anna Farris (one of my favorite actresses) made this movie look hilarious! Well, I might have to watch the movie now after reading the novel, because it didn’t do much for me. The story is based on Delilah Darling, who is horrified after reading in the New York Post that the average person has 10.5 sex partners – and she’s just notched number twenty. On the brink of thirty, recently unemployed and now convinced she’s a mondo slut – Delilah is determined to find those past twenty guys and see which one is Mr. Right for her. She can’t get to twenty-one, that is just wrong. Someone in her past is the one for her – she just has to find him.
The story follows Delilah as she goes on a cross-country road trip searching for ex-boyfriends, old flames, and one-night stands. While parts were funny, the humor just wasn’t there for me. Delilah was loveable enough as a heroine, but for the most part I was just thinking she was missing a screw – no pun intended! The book was a really slow read for me, and I eventually starting skimming pages to keep it moving. I think I will still check out the movie sometime, but the novel definitely fell flat for me.
]Rating: 3.5]

		<description><![CDATA[Title: Southern Charm

Author: Tinsley Mortimer

Received: Amanda @ Simon and Schuster

Synopsis: A modern Manhattan fairy tale with the sparkle of a champagne cocktail, Tinsley Mortimer’s debut novel provides a delicious peek into her world of society, fashion, and big-city fame.

SOUTHERN GIRL Minty Davenport has always dreamed of skyscrapers, yellow cabs, and a life like Eloise’s in New York City. So upon graduation from college, she bids adieu to Charleston and makes a beeline for the Big Apple. Almost instantly, she finds herself at an event being photographed for Women’s Wear Daily, and her career as a New York society “It Girl” is launched. As Minty navigates the ironclad customs of New York society, a blossoming love life, and a job working for a ruthless and powerful publicist, she finds that the rules a southern belle lives by—being nice to everyone, accentuating her femininity, and minding her manners—don’t necessarily guarantee success in Manhattan. She may indeed be accumulating new friends and opportunities along with boldfaced mentions and a very eligible bachelor boyfriend, but someone is plotting her very public downfall. When Minty gets to the top of the social ladder, she must decide if the glamorous life she thought she wanted is really everything she hoped it would be.

Tinsley Mortimer’s insider observations about New York’s elite are deliciously witty, and the heart of her book is that of an irresistibly lovable young woman who is on the brink of finding her dream.

Title: The Perfect Location

Author: Kate Forster

Rose Nightingale is an Australian actress still recovering

As they come together on set in the Italian hills, they find

An intricate web of passionate pasts, addictions, lovers and secrets, perfect for fans of Lesley Locko and Adriana Trigiani.

Title: Come Fly With Me

Author: Sandi Perry

Received: From Sandy Perry

Synopsis: Haven’t we all experienced a moment when we’ve said something we wish we could take back? What if you were an eleven-year old girl and thought that moment caused the death of someone you cherished? Allison Ross, now a twenty-nine year old art gallery owner in Chelsea, was that young girl. The sudden death of her father in a suspicious car crash begins the unraveling of the tightly-wound world she has built around herself. This present day tragedy raises the unresolved issue of her Uncle Joey's untimely demise, for which she feels responsible. Adding to her turmoil, she is shocked to learn that she's been named interim CEO of her father's luxury jet company. Past and present blur as she fights to maintain control of a company she wants no involvement in while she struggles to keep her gallery afloat.

Allison's neighbor and good friend, Kenyon James, bakes butter-filled goodies culled from her Bubby's recipe files, and teases her that one day someone is going to come along who will be able to break through the armor she wears over her heart. Enter Alexander Coventry, a brilliant barracuda who is the prime candidate to take her father's place as CEO of RossAir Industries. Alex is the charmingly handsome son of a wealthy Atlanta family whose father taught him defeat is not an option. Allison and Alexander have two things in common—they both feel the need to prove to themselves to their fathers, and they're both incredibly stubborn. His motives toward her and the company get muddier by the day as these two opinionated forces dance around one another as they jockey for power, fall in love, and search for her father's killer. The story reaches its climax with a return to the cliffs of Frenchman's Bay in Bar Harbor, the scene of her early childhood trauma.

Title: The Rock Star in Seat 3A

Author: Jill Kargman

Received by: Unsolicited

Synopsis: It's Hazel's thirtieth birthday and she has everything she's ever wanted: a kickass job, a dream apartment in New York City, and the perfect boyfriend—who's just days away from proposing. Hazel thinks she's happy but isn't quite ready to settle down. So when her most far-fetched fantasy enters the realm of the possible, shouldn't she drop everything to see it through?

The morning after her birthday, Hazel boards a flight to L.A. only to get the surprise of her life. When she's bumped up to first class, extra legroom and free drinks are absolutely the last things on her mind when she catches sight of her seatmate: her all-time biggest celebrity crush, rock star Finn Schiller! Only the night before she'd confessed her infatuation with the gorgeous musician, and her boyfriend joked that she had a free pass if she ever met him. Hazel can't believe fate has actually thrown them together.

Even more unbelievable is that during the flight they genuinely connect. Finn likes her uncensored cursing and wicked sense of humor, and that she's unlike all of his groupies; Hazel likes his killer looks, ripped physique, and soulful music. But what started as a fantasy quickly becomes a real attraction, and after a dream date and taste of the rock-star life with Finn in L.A., Hazel is forced to examine the track her life is on. Indulging in a passionate affair with a rock star seems crazy—but could she ever forgive herself if she walked away from her wildest dream coming true? And is her wildest dream the stuff that happiness is made of?

A lively novel about a down-to-earth New York City girl who suddenly finds herself in a rock 'n' roll Cinderella fantasy, The Rock Star in Seat 3A is seasoned with Jill Kargman's signature wit and hilarious dialogue. This is a fairy-tale romance with a twist.

Title: South Hills Sidekicks: Uninvited

Author: Leah Spiegel &#038; Megan Summers

Received By: Leah Spiegel

Synopsis: When Alley started her senior year at Upper St. Clair in the South Hills area, it was supposed to be the usual drag of hanging out with people who spent more on one outfit than Alley did on her entire wardrobe. That was until Kirsten, a girl in their clique, suddenly goes missing and the only people who seem to care are her friends. All evidence leads to the new comer Shane, a cocky and self-pretentious person in Alley’s opinion, but the police seem uninterested so she and the rest of the girls start a little investigation of their own. But they are nowhere closer to finding Kirsten than when they started and now they had the police’s attention; just not in the way they expected. The girls have to start over and discover that maybe it wasn’t an outsider who took Kirsten, but someone within their own clique who has something to hide; a secret that just might have gotten Kirsten killed.


Title: Secrets, Lies &#038; PG Tips

Author: Leanne Rose

Received by: Leanne Rose

Synopsis: ‘Secrets, Lies &#038; PG Tips’ is a chick-lit novel written in first person, narrated by British 25 year old Nina Parker. Nina is a self-confessed hopeless romantic and recently moved to San Francisco to pursue a glamorous (as seen on TV) life of cocktail parties, designer shoes, a high flying career and of course, the perfect man to share it all with.

In reality, Nina’s biggest work challenge is remembering the soy milk in her boss, Eddie’s overcomplicated coffee. And the cocktail parties are more ‘swigging wine from the bottle while watching sitcom reruns’ kind of evenings. And as for the perfect man…..

		<description><![CDATA[Toni Aleo is on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Taking Shots, the first novel in her hockey series. I was excited to read a book that focused on hockey. Something different, and something that interested me. I was a big hockey fan in middle school and high school, and attended many games for the local team in my hometown. So I was looking forward to reading!
Elli Fisher can’t get over that she is going to be the photographer for the Nashville Assassins, her favorite NHL team. While shooting, she meets her biggest crush- the captain, Shea Adler. When sparks fly between Elli and Shea, Elli can’t quite believe it. Why would someone like Shea – who can have any girl he wants – be interested in her? She struggles with self-confidence and self-worth, but after a string of dates with Shea, she slowly begins to feel more comfortable with herself. But can Elli really let go of all the insecurities that have been haunting her for so many years? Will she find her happily ever after with Shea, or miss her shot at love?
I struggled a bit with Taking Shots simply because it was too long. At over 400 pages, that’s just too long for a full-length novel, and there were a lot of scenes, characters, and even just words (‘basically’ appeared way too much) that could have been cut. Looking past that, I liked the story and the romance between Elli and Shea. This is a romance novel for a reason – there are a lot of sizzling sex scenes between the two. It was nice to see a growth through Elli and even her best friend Harper, who added a lot of humor to the book. Going back to the length, I also think a few of the scenarios where Elli seemingly gives up on Shea could have been cut as well. It started to get frustrating after so many times. I will be looking forward to book number two though and a new cast of characters to meet.

		<category><![CDATA[Summer of SEcrets by Alison Lucy]]></category>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://chicklitplus.com/?p=9555</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The Summer of Secrets by Alison Lucy starts off in Mexico in 1989, following newlyweds Danny and Harriet on their honeymoon. Days letter, Harriet realizes that her heart isn't in it and returns home, leaving Danny behind in Mexico. He finds comfort in the arms of two separate women, and nine months later, three baby girls are born. The story follows the three women as they grow up and in 2010, set off on their own respective adventures to uncover the secrets surrounding their father whom they've never met. What they find instead is a past filled with mystery and intrigue and one that may take them to places they never thought possible.
 
I found the Summer of Secrets to be full of suspense and mystery. All three of the girls who were raised very, very differently must all journey to the same place in their hearts and find out the truth about their long lost father. Is he alive? He hasn't been seen since 1989 and is presumed to be dead, but what really happened? And how will that impact the three women? They each have their own issues but are able to put them aside in search of Danny- and I loved being apart of their quest for the truth. Another big factor in this book is love- and for one of the girls specifically, the lack of love. I found Alison Lucy's first novel to be a solid, great read full of everything that one wants in a good summer book- love, mystery, honesty, and romance.
[Rating: 4/5]
