Editorial Reviews

Reeling from being dumped the evening before her wedding day, Chloe decides not to let the already booked honeymoon cruise go to waste. She invites her girlfriends from her book club and embraces her own inner adventurer. The girls live out the experiences that they have read about in books, and Chloe discovers the real woman she was meant to be. Author of Reconstructing Natalie, Walker creates quirky, endearing protagonists with whom twentysomething female readers will identify. Her latest will appeal to fans of chick lit and Kristin Billerbeck (the "Ashley Stockingdale" and "Spa Girls" series). Recommended for all public library CF and chick-lit collections.
