And One last thing--Book Review

And One Last Thing ...Lacey Terwilliger’s shock and humiliation over her husband’s philandering prompt her to add some bonus material to Mike’s company newsletter: stunning Technicolor descriptions of the special brand of "administrative support" his receptionist gives him. The detailed mass e-mail to Mike’s family, friends, and clients blows up in her face, and before one can say "instant urban legend," Lacey has become the pariah of her small Kentucky town, a media punch line, and the defendant in Mike’s defamation lawsuit.

Her seemingly perfect life up in flames, Lacey retreats to her family’s lakeside cabin, only to encounter an aggravating neighbor named Monroe. A hunky crime novelist with a low tolerance for drama, Monroe is not thrilled about a newly divorced woman moving in next door. But with time, beer, and a screen door to the nose, a cautious friendship develops into something infinitely more satisfying.

Lacey has to make a decision about her long-term living arrangements, though. Should she take a job writing caustic divorce newsletters for paying clients, or move on with her own life, pursuing more literary aspirations? Can she find happiness with a man who tells her what he thinks and not what she wants to hear? And will she ever be able to resist saying one . . . last . . . thing?(goodreads.com)

I admit I love good chick lit .

Loved this book of how a women found out that her husband was cheating when she got some flowers delivered and they had the wrong name. What does she do..she stews on it for a couple days and when the day comes, she sends out a email all about the cheating to all of the clients of his company.

Lacey decided to hide away at the cabin from her advice from her attorney and meets Monroe a writer who is working on his next book and they are neighbors.

There were some family moments and loved that Lacey learned to stand on her own and even write a book.

Loved the romance between Monroe and Lacey and it seemed real and honest with all that's happening around them with her family and his family.

Book Review 4/B

Thanks to Simon & Schuster for the book and this is my Honest Review

  1. I've never been a big adult chicklit fan. I like YA chicklit occasionally. I don't know if I'd go for this book but I do like the cover. It's adorable.

  3. I'm not much for chick lit but I loved Molly Harper's Jane Jameson books so am counting on her wit to keep me reading this.
