I loved her Something Borrowed and Something Blue books, which deal with infidelity, not a subject you could normally get me to read at all. I remember liking this one, but hating Baby Proof, and there's still a few of hers I need to pick up.Kate @Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01220575670960466054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-1883511222898233222016-03-31T07:35:21.072-06:002016-03-31T07:35:21.072-06:00Chick lit definitely has its place and for me it i...Chick lit definitely has its place and for me it is mostly when I want to have a quick light read that engages me when my mind is otherwise very occupied with real life demands (the exhausting ones as well as the good ones). And when the chick lit draws me into the romance with smart writing, even better. Ahern books have been my go-to last year.

I rarely read romances because they're so silly and predictable -- I like that this one kept you guessing.

I surely want to read it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
