Good Morning America Summer book pick!
Genre: Women's Fiction, Chick Lit
My overall score: 3/5
What its about (from author's website): Life’s a bit of a beach these days for Ginger Walsh, who finds herself single at 41 and back home living in the family FROG (finished room over the garage) in the fictional town of Marshbury. She’s spent a few too many years in sales, and is hoping for a more fulfilling life as a sea glass artist, but instead is babysitting her sister’s kids and sharing overnights with Noah, her sexy glassblower boyfriend with commitment issues and a dog Ginger’s cat isn’t too crazy about. You can almost smell the salt air as you take this rollicking ride with one slightly relationship-challenged single woman, one older BlackBerry obsessed married-with-children sister on the verge of turning fifty, one dump picking father, one kama sutra t-shirt wearing mother, one movie crew come to town with a very cute gaffer, plus a couple of Red Hat Realtors and a pair of evil twins.
What I thought: Short, fun book. Light and airy reading. Definitely a 'beach read'. Some funny parts. A story about a 40-something woman 'finding herself'. Relationship between sisters. Started out good, kind of fizzled toward the end. Recommended if you're looking for quick, mindless reading. Kind of a let-down after enjoying 'The Beach House' so much though.
