Great book for a rainy weekend.

+ Perfect Beach Book!
+ Good Little Wives is a great book with twists and turns to keep you guessing

I loved this book. It was fun to read, and the story moved right along. Even with a fairly large number of people to keep up with, the characters meshed nicely-- the plot was straight-forward and uncomplicated. I hope she writes another one soon. As a first book, it's great.

Loved this book

The premise of the story is absolutely wonderful. The writing is beautiful and interesting. I enjoyed reading the flashbacks on Abby's childhood and youth. I loved her descriptions of San Francisco. I felt close to the character as the author really shares a lot of introspection. However, I ...

Very Enjoyable!

+ Highly recommended!

I picked this up because of its title and it sounded like a fun read. Since I have brown hair, I really wanted to know what the author meant by "The Blonde Theory". I loved her last book "How to Sleep with a Movie Star" and had a feeling I would enjoy this one as well. This was a great read, ...

There's no place like here

+ Very unique

Pretty different, never read one like this before. I really like how the author ties everything together along the way so you don't get bored. I have read everything she has written and I appreciate that she never writes the same theme over and over as many authors do. I always look forward to ...
