I got my hands on an advance copy of this book and I’m loving it! It’s just what I needed to read right now while I’m waiting for the dark winter days to pass and the start of spring to begin. If you’re a fan of authors like Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, and Sophie Kinsella I think you’ll also like this debut novel.
This is a story about fraternal twin sisters Lindsey and Alex. Lindsey, although successful in her own right, always felt inadequate when comparing herself to her beautiful twin sister. We meet single Lindsey when she is just about to receive her dream job offer – to become the youngest VP ever at the NYC ad agency that she has been working countless hours at. One mishap happens after another and the door to her opportunity shuts just like that. She must now pick herself up, dust herself off, and head back home to be reunited with her family and start her career anew. But, can she cope with her failures at the same time that her perfect sister is planning her dream wedding?
I’m really enjoying the story so far and I know it’s going to be one of those books that I’m going to be sad when it ends. Although my description above makes it sound heavy, it’s actually a fun read with a lot of humor and warmth. I can see this as a perfect summer read too.
So head on over tomorrow (March 3, 2010) to pre-order your book at Double Up Books and be entered into the raffle PLUS get a Jennifer Weiner book too, while supplies last. We’ll ship your book as soon as it’s published.
Good luck!
