Too Good To Be True

Everyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to read. More specifically, these days I LOVE to read on my nook (even though I have so many paper books that I have to alternate)! What I like to read is anything that doesn't make me think. So basically I read what is considered "chick lit"... light, fluffy, funny, cute... what would make a good chick flick. And I don't care if my books have no "substance". I enjoy reading them to relax me and what better way than to laugh while reading.

The last book I read is by Kristan Higgins "Too Good to be True". I had never read any of her work before but I have to say I am hooked. This book was so enjoyable I didn't want to put the nook down! (ok so that is true for most books that I read, but still!) I don't want to give too much away from the story, so here is a quick synopsis...

Grace is a civil war loving history teacher who has been dumped by her fiancee, for her younger sister! She has a hard time meeting men and everyone in her family is so worried for her because of the breaking up. It will be her time soon they all say... What they don't know is that all her life Grace has had a habit of making up fake boyfriends. And she has to do it again in order to protect her younger sister's feelings. Seems to be going fine until the house next door is suddenly occupied. After a few mishaps with the new neighbor (who is appealing to the eye, to say the least), she realizes that she is starting to think about Callahan a lot more than normal.

This book is definitely one that will have you laughing and wanting to turn the pages faster! The ending was not exactly what I expected. I am usually a really bad predictor when it comes to reading and even watching movies. but there are some twists and turns along the way that will keep you intrigued until the very last page.
