Fashionably Late by Beth Kendrick

Becca Davis has a boring life. She doesn’t quite realize just how boring and predictable it has become until her boyfriend, Kevin Bradley, pops the question on her. She is twenty-five years old and living with her parents in Phoenix. She needs a change of pace. What could be more perfect then moving to Los Angeles, where Becca’s rich, married sister Claire is living the good life. So Becca breaks it off with her controlling fiancé and heads to LA. She has dreams to start a fashion career, and may have gotten her big break when she meets Fiona, a celebrity stylist who needs someone to put her clients together. In the meantime, Becca takes a part-time job as a hostess in an upscale restaurant, run by the sexy and adventurous Connor Sullivan. Becca feels the connection between them, but can she convince Connor of the same?

Fashionably Late by Beth Kendrick has fashion, celebrities, and romance, all with a witty and clever tone. The heroine has a story to tell, coming a long way from a floundering, boring young woman, to becoming a risk-taking, self aware individual. The supporting characters are well written, with unique tales as well, making Fashionably Late an irrestistible chick lit novel.
