Except for Amy… When her best friend, Jane Austen-Rabinowitz, and Jane’s sagacious six-year-old daughter, Zoe, convince Amy to treat herself to an extravagantly priced, super-cute pair of shoes, which purportedly once belonged to a siren of the silver screen, she balks at first, but their allure soon wears her down. Once they are hers, her life turns around. She gets refocused on her career and meets a true kindred spirit, the also-jilted English professor, Decklin Thomas. She’s not attracted to Deck at first. But when circumstances lead to them spending more time together, they bond, and Amy starts to believe she may have found her soul mate.

Sparkly and witty as a 1940s screwball comedy, and filled with quirky characters and lots of delightful surprises, Rita Hayworth’s Shoes is a story of bouncing back, a heartwarming and potentially heartbreaking romance, and even a mystery rolled into one fun, hilarious page-turner.

Died on the Vine by Joyce Harmon
Chick Lit Review

Died on the Vine by Joyce Harmon

Died on the Vine by Joyce Harmon follows Cissy Rayborn, tech writer and ammateur mystery sleuth, and her retired husband Jack. The two cross paths with Obadiah Winslow, and he informs Cissy that Jimmy, her first husband who was supposedly shot down and killed in Vietnam, actually survived the crash and is still alive and is currently being held prisoner in a Vietnamese prison. Cissy begins to wonder if he is telling the truth, but before she really even has a chance to question him further, she finds him dead on their property, stabbed by pruning shears. Who could of possibly done it? Could it be her current husband Jack in hopes of silencing the truth? Or, was it someone else? What will Cissy do and what will she believe?

I haven’t read a ton of mystery novels over the years, but I was pretty excited when I read the synopsis for Joyce Harmon’s book. The book was light and fun, and the mystery added a fun suspenseful twist to the plot. I really enjoyed the characters and really enjoyed the dynamic between Cissy, Julie, and Mary and thought they added a lot of spunk to the novel. Overall, very enjoyable. I was entertained throughout and surprised by the suspenseful ending. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a light hearted mystery with some heart.

The Last Resort by Malena Lott
Chick Lit Review

The Last Resort by Malena Lott

The Last Resort by Malena Lott brings together the cast of characters from her previous novels. Ramona and Rachel (Dating da Vinci), Taylor (The Stork Reality), Macy (Fixer Upper), Georgia (Life’s a Beach) and get introduced to Kelly (Something New- Fall 2012) to a beautiful beach side paradise in Maui. At a mojo conference, we catch up with all of the women and see what has happened since we last saw them in their previousbooks. Rachel’s is now famous with a New York Times bestseller with her her fitness books, TV show and as a host of these “mojo” conferences. Ramona finally gets a break from her two boys and hopes to get spend some time with her sister, but really is secretly working out the kinks of her heart and wondering if she is ready to make the commitment to her boyfriend. Taylor’s ad agency in Texas is flourishing, and with a two year old and a booming business, she can’t seem to catch a moment for herself, so she is in dire need of a break whilst secretly hoping to learn from the other attendees the secret to managing it all and not going crazy. Kelly feels like her biological clock is closing in on her since her boyfriend John moved out, crushing her hopes for a marriage and a baby. Macy’s life is a lot slower since her days in the middle of a political scandal back in Atlanta, now living in Oklahoma and owner of a remodeling businesses, she is on the brink of national attention and is hesitant to be in the spotlight again. And finally, Georgia still dealing with her broken heart and hoping to be able to pick up the pieces. With all six women on the verge of a personal or professional crossroads, things get interesting and they get honest and real. But the real question is, will they all be able to find their “mojo” before heading back to their respective lives?

Heartfelt and moving, the quick paced novella by Malena Lott, is exactly what one hopes for in a beach read. I absolutely adored catching up with all of the previous characters from Lott’s previous novels and although I had only read one book by her before, you are quickly caught up on what you may have previously missed. All of the women are each dealing with a crisis of their own, and with each of them being so varied, I think all women will find that they can relate to at least one … if not all of their problems. I read The Last Resort in one sitting and was moved at the end of the book. Lott uses her signature writing style to make you feel right at with all of the ladies. I highly recommend this book for any gals looking for a quick, fun time. I was sad to see it come and go so quickly.

Samantha’s July Favorites

In lieu of our Charming Tuesday posts, Samantha and I have decided to post our top five “favorites” for each month. This way, we can include more items instead of just sticking to our beauty essentials. So, to kick off our new segment, here are Samantha’s:

1. Books – The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner and Construct a Couple by Talli Roland. Highly recommend both these books!

2. Beauty – I recently bought Secret’s Clinical Strength deodorant, and don’t have to worry anymore in the hot summer days. If I am going out and want to slip something in my clutch, I grab a small bottle of Victoria Secret’s Very Sexy perfume. Love the way this smells!

3. Hair – With the hot and humid summer days, frizz can be a real problem. I just purchased Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray, and it works wonders. It seems to literally freeze my hair in place, and the frizz gets cut down dramatically. Sometimes it can make my strands stiff, but I’ll take that over the frizz!

4. Clothes – Dresses are all the rage for me in the summer. I will rarely be seen in much else, and I’m not much of a shorts-type gal. I love the long flowing maxi dresses, and a great website to check out awesome deals is Hautelook.com. http://www.hautelook.com/short/3Fbc7

5. Shoes – Wedges still seem to be very in this season, and I stocked up earlier in the year with a few cute pairs. These also can be more comfortable on a night than stiletto’s, but you don’t lose any fashion points either!

Sign of the Times by Susan Buchanan
Chick Lit Review

Sign of the Times by Susan Buchanan

Unique in a very creative way, Sign of the Times by Susan Buchanan, brings twelve people together, all of them different signs of the zodiac, each with their own personalities and differing opinions. Holly, a Sagittarius, is a travel writer who begins our book with a journey to Italy to do research for her new book. During her trip she finds a love interest … but that makes things complicated considering she has Tom, her fiance, back home. Tom, a Capricorn, isn’t so innocent either while she is away, and embarks into the world of internet chatrooms. Lucy, a Gemini, is Holly’s sister and she has her own relationship woes to deal with once she finally meets her match and risks losing her job. Her uncle Jack, a Libra, has issues taking managing his son and his high profile career as a prosecutor. We also meet Maggie, an Aquarius, and Jennifer, a Pisces, who are two best friends. Maggie is learning to live life post divorce and Jennifer is taking care of an ill family member. Obviously with one character per each zodiac sign, we end up with quite a slew of interesting stories being interwoven together. I found some characters more interesting than others, but most importantly, they were all unique in their own right. Some of them were cheaters, some faithful, some liars, some honest, some good, some bad, and a few sprinkled in between those lines … but overall completely unique. Ultimately they are all just searching for their own happiness, but while reading, I wondered how relevant their zodiac signs were, and how all of the characters would end up connected.

Overall, this story was quite fun. I found the ending interesting but honestly was expecting more of a bang than what I got. Other than that, I really enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the places visited as well as the personal interactions that each of the characters faced. The writing was well done and the flow was steady throughout, overall the author did a good job of creating a very realistic story and found a unique way to tie in the zodiac signs to the story.

Title: Ripple the Twine

Author: Jenn Flynn-Shon

Received: Via CLP Blog Tours

Synopsis: A Tomboy-meets-Townie love story and tale about how friendship can save your life. Sara Quinn is a Sportswriter from Boston and over the past year she has started to earn major respect in the local market. In the process, however, she abandoned her personal relationships and put her emotions in the box. Regardless of her self-imposed timeout, a friend introduces her to Ben. With blue eyes, black hair and a brogue, he’s her ultimate triple threat. But they connect just as Sara learns that her friends are facing heavy emotional crises. She starts offering advice, becoming a rock for everyone else, and in the process Sara unearths her own long dormant insecurities. But a bag of peanut butter cups and a hockey game won’t fix her issues. She’s got to move past her emotional past without hiding behind her career for once. She needs her friend’s support as much as they need hers and the four will quickly discover that, when they stick together, their offense is virtually unstoppable.

Title: The Dinner Party

Author: Jenny Brenner

Received: From Jenny Brenner

Synopsis: Sometime back in seventh grade, Lainie and Miya pinky swore to attend the same college, snag gorgeous husbands, and live next door to one another for the rest of their lives. But is post-grad life ever what one imagines? Lainie Silver is twenty-eight, attractive, razor-sharp, and is nonetheless trapped in a mind-numbing job and a romantic slump. Sure, she’s thankful for a steady paycheck, a Fifth Avenue address, and minimal sagging of tenuous body parts. But it doesn’t seem fair that Miya managed to wangle a glamorous career as a celebrity make-up artist and a “perfect” marriage to Jake, a chef at The Union Square Café. Both are unbearable reminders of the novel Lainie can’t seem to write and the elusive love she craves. After hosting a tense dinner party (and throwing back one too many cocktails), Lainie succumbs to bitterness and bad judgment when Jake shows up at her apartment. Though Lainie can’t stand him, this minor detail doesn’t matter in the drunken haze of seduction. Eight minutes later, after mediocre sex and a hard look at the philanderer passed out on her couch, Lainie knows that her friendship—potentially her entire life—will never be the same. Determined to keep her secret, with guilty angst and acerbic wit as her must-have accessories, Lainie tries to resume so-called normalcy. This proves more difficult than she thought: she gets fired for taking too long a lunch, settles into the comfort of a boring relationship only to be cheated on when she least expects it, has a fender bender with her first love on the Long Island Expressway, and realizes she is wildly attracted to her new boss, Noah. Against the warnings of Miya and her nagging mother, Lainie nestles in to Noah’s world of custom suits and imported cars. She even lets him in on her one-night stand with Jake. She never (ok—hardly) suspects he could one day be the cause of all their undoing…

As the two women embark on a journey to find the one thing missing in their lives, each will come to recognize that where we belong is often where we least expect to find ourselves—a place that we may have willed ourselves to forget, but that the heart remembers forever.

Confessions of a Cake Addict by Emma Kaufmann
Chick Lit Review

Confessions of a Cake Addict by Emma Kaufmann

The hilariously written Confessions of a Cake Addict follows Kate Pickles, hilarious and charming Londoner, as she hits rock bottom. She is completely unaware of what she is doing in life and can do nothing but complain to her bit sister Laurie in Australia. Kate is miserable at work and has a boss that takes advantage of her day in and day out, and a best friend who has the dating life that she would kill for … yet Kate does nothing but sit back and eat cake. She sits down and writes out all of her complaints in a series of “confessions” via letter and emails to her sister but it isn’t until her best friend convinces her to take a trip to Vienna where her life gets turned upside down. Kate falls in love and may have just stumbled upon the job of a lifetime.

Confessions of a Cake Addict brings the laughs and kicks traditional romance in the butt. This book will make you laugh out loud (which a lot of books promise but under deliver) and root for Kate to finally find happiness. Emma Kaufmann is one hell of a comedic author and she does a fabulous job at creating honest characters that you are able to laugh along with. And heck, who can go wrong with a cake addict? I’m pretty sure that I may have become addicted to cake after going on some of the dates that Kate goes on….some of those men sure were doozies! Overall, a fun read for anyone looking for a laugh.

Sorority Sisters by Claudia Welch
Chick Lit Review

Sorority Sisters by Claudia Welch

The heartfelt and charming, Sorority Sisters by Claudia Welch, begins in 1975 and follows four young Beta Pi pledges (Karen, Ellen, Laurie, and Diane) who are trying to find their place in college. The story follows them through their four years at university … and although they start off as mere strangers, the four girls forge a friendship that follows them for the rest of their lives. Through thick and thin and the ups and downs of life, the four girls become like sisters, truly creating an unbreakable bond.

I absolutely adored Sorority Sisters by Claudia Welch and truly admire what the book stands for. It’s a story about true friendship, one that spans over many years, and those types of books don’t come along very often. I absolutely loved all four of the girls (each with their very own wit and charm) and often found myself thinking about my best girlfriends and all of the memories that we have shared over the years. I loved the altering view points of each chapter and how we really got to know the characters through EVERY aspect of their lives. All too often, stories are told during the best part of a characters life, but we get to really know these girls through it all. Honest and real, Sorority Girls is a wonderful piece of story telling. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a one of a kind book about love and friendship.
