I Did (But I Wouldn’t Now) by Cara Lockwood
Why should you never marry a rock star? Lily Crandell can count the ways. After her marriage of 16 months to Ted Dayton fizzles as fast his stardom skyrockets, Lily finds herself doing the only reasonable thing she can think off- skip across the pond to visit an old flame, Carter, in London. While using her sister’s passport because she had to turn hers in to the bail bondsman to keep her out of jail after assaulting her ex-husband. And skipping the country just weeks before her scheduled court date. So Lily has never been the most responsible or sensible. That belonged to her older sister Lauren, whom you might remember from I Do (But I Don’t). Lauren is happily married to her firefighter Nick, with one adorable son already and another baby on the way. Lily is the opposite- no job holding her down, no husband to speak of anymore, and her tear stained picture showing up in tabloids after her husband was found to be having an affair with the beautiful and silicone enhanced actress Melanie Slate. Oh yea- and she has no money and is facing thousands of dollars of debt.
I Did (But I Wouldn’t Now) is the hilarious follow-up from Cara Lockwood, with little sister Lily taking over the reins. While trying to decide if she loves Carter, her commitment-phobe ex-boyfriend, he falls for his overly psychotic girlfriend, who has it out for poor Lily. The situation gets even stickier after Lily is photographed making out with one of the hottest soccer stars in London- who is getting married in a few short weeks and has a baby on the way. Lily is now plastered across the London tabloids, and inadvertently got Carter fired from his prestigious doctor position. With her trial date looming close by, our heroine has limited time to get Carter his job back, get him to see his girlfriend is crazy, win his heart, and oh yea- help big sister. Lauren makes a hilarious cameo by flying to London weeks before her due date after being convinced her perfect husband is cheating on her. Throw her situation into the mess, add in paparazzi and a rock star ex ending up in London, and I Did (But I Wouldn’t Now) is a must read for all chick lit fans.
