I voluntarily reviewed this novel after receiving an advanced reader copy
Summary:
Four little words, uttered by her husband…
‘Oh my god,’ he gasped into her shoulder. ‘Shannon!’
There’s just one problem: her name isn’t Shannon.
Rewind six months and Scarlett and Rufus aren’t in the honeymoon stage anymore so much as the honey-should-we-bother phase. Desperate to get their sparkle back, Scarlett has plotted, planned and waxed more than any woman should have to, but none of it is working. Which makes it very hard to start the family they want.
At least her business is going strong, even if her marriage isn’t. She and her best friend spend their days tangled up in dog leashes and covered in fur. Scarlett is the fairy dogmother, training hopeless pets like compulsive eater Barkley, impulsive Romeo Murphy and bossy Biscuit. Meanwhile, her best friend walks the dogs and pines for the man who doesn’t know she exists. Thank goodness the women have each other.
If only Scarlett could work out how to get her marriage back on track. But Rufus isn’t sharing his feelings with her. He is, though, sharing with her best friend. Her best friend, Shannon.
Review:
Since I am a huge dog lover myself, I thought this would be a great fit for me! I have read nearly everything from Lilly Bartlett in the past, so I was happy to take on another chick lit read from her. This book was really quite adorable to read. From friendships to relationships to a whole lot of dogs, I thoroughly enjoyed this from beginning to end. It was a quick read and had plenty of humorous moments mixed in with the more emotional. A fun one to read!
