What happens when your high school nemesis becomes the shining star in a universe you pretty much saved? Book blogger Kimberly Long is about to find out.
A chick-lit enthusiast since the first time she read Bridget Jones’s Diary, Kim, with her blog, “Pastel is the New Black,” has worked tirelessly by night to keep the genre alive, and help squash the claim that “chick lit is dead” once and for all. Not bad for a woman who by day ekes out a meager living as a pretty, and pretty-much-nameless, legal secretary in a Manhattan law firm. While Kim’s day job holds no passion for her, the handsome (and shaving challenged) associate down the hall is another story. Yet another story is that Hannah Marshak, one of her most hated high school classmates, has now popped onto the chick-lit scene with a hot new book that’s turning heads–and pages–across the land. And it’s also popped into Kim’s inbox–for review. With their ten-year high school reunion drawing near, Kim’s coming close to combustion over all the hype Hannah’s book is receiving. And as everyone around her seems to be moving on and up, she begins to question whether being a “blogger girl” makes the grade in her off-line life.

Two weeks. TWO WEEKS. OMG, the two week countdown is here! I thought it was so bizarre once one month rolled around and I was saying to people, “I’m getting married in a month.” But now two weeks?! Okay, I’ll try to stop saying that. Puzzle pieces are falling into place. Final numbers are being tallied. Balances are being paid. Week of and day of schedules are being written. My days are getting filled with appointments – for wedding dress fittings, hair highlights, a meeting with the photographer and cake lady. The gifts we bought for our wedding party are being delivered and packaged. Our marriage license has been applied for. Family is going to start coming in just one week – so excited to see my mom! These last two weeks are going to be fairly maniacal, but the end result will be so worth. Husband and wife. This year of engagement has absolutely flown by, and I’m sure these two weeks will as well. My Twitter statuses might get a little out of control but if you want to follow my excitement, I’m @chicklitplus. Two weeks…until I’m a bride. Pinching myself.

Jazzy secretly wants to get back together with her ex boyfriend, Curtis, so when he calls and reveals that he’s got something important to tell her, she’s got no idea that he’s about to propose—to her first cousin and bitter rival, Mercedes.
The annual family dinner is coming up, and fearing that she will spend the evening seething while Mercedes flaunts her four carat engagement ring in her face, Jazzy asks Reggie, an Adonis she met at the mall, to accompany her. As fate would have it, not only did Reggie and Mercedes used to date; that backstabbing, leopard print wearing cow is still carrying a torch for him! Revenge. It’s never been so sweet.
But falling for Reggie? Holy crap! That wasn’t part of the plan! She’s got enough on her plate as it is with a mother who spies on the neighbors and a sister and best friend with man problems that could land them on Jerry Springer. So when Curtis comes sniffing around again—this time, with an accusation that sends her blood pressure shooting through the roof—the one good nerve that Jazzy’s got left has just about run its course.
