Description: Even a
laid-back beach girl has her doubts....
Bri Stone has it all: the man of her dreams and their
surf-ridin' teenage son, a chocolate-loving best pal, an adorable beach
bungalow, and a kicky job as a Southern California tour bus host.
She also has a few things she didn't ask for: a
know-it-all friend, a snobby mother-in-law, and a Fabio-meets-Dilbert
boss. All three of them seem eager to share their strong opinions and
suspicions about Bri's relationship with her husband, Douglas.
When Bri's rose-colored glasses crack after she finds
evidence that Douglas has grown tired of her carefree ways, she resolves
to win him back. Can Bri reinvent herself--and recapture his heart?

This book definitely fit into the basic "chic lit" genre and if you
are an avid reader of this type of fiction, you will truly enjoy this
book. The book is set in Southern California, a place the author
knows well, which is obvious by her wonderful descriptions. You
come away feeling like you've been to the beach! The main
character is very likeable and the book is a nice, quick read.
