I liked this one, in spite of it being outside of my normal fare
I've started downloading chunks of files from each of the older "first look" excerpts of books on Bookish First in an effort to both find new books that I might be interested in and, of course, to be able to get the reward points to get more free books in the future. Now that my old nook died and I've had to dump the files into a nook tablet instead, it automatically populates everything in alphabetical order. As a result, that's what I'm working with because I'm too tired to try to change it.
I see this one come up a lot in the swap groups, but I've never given it any thought because it's outside my preferred genres. It screamed "chick lit" and that's never a category that I can get along with. That being said, in reading the excerpt, it's got just the right amount of attention to detail, it's got enough of a hook to keep you engaged, and it's got multifaceted characters - something that's been missing in a lot of newer books. I'd have to say that I'm definitely intrigued. Next time it comes up in the swap group I'll probably snag it.
