I was intrigued by this book at first, Ellis has it all going on, her clothing store, a great attitude, the single girl with friends..etc. but then comes Mike. Yeah, he is gorgeous, polite, has it all, but then it gets so darn mushy and repetitive that I can't get through it. It could have been a keeper, but I can't read one more line of Ellis' lush curves, round assets, and how beautiful she is..her pouty mouth swollen from his kisses. PLEASE! You made the case at page one on her full figured assets, I GOT IT! The story is ruined by redundant reinforcement of Ellis' womanly attributes! I've had all I can stand....
Ellis is a Harvard educated lawyer. The only problem is, she hates what she is doing, so she quits. Her love is fashion and helping people find clothes that fit them and work with their body types. So, she opens her own store. It helps that she also does alterations having done so with her own clothing growing up. She had a crush on Mike years ago. Only problem is her sister dated him once upon a time.
Mike is a ladies man who is taking a break from that. After working as a NYC detective, he needs a change of scenery. So he begins work as a detective in his much smaller college town. One day, he bumps into Ellis and he knows he knows her, but can't remember where from.
I really liked the banter and interactions between the characters. Ellis's parents are interesting (Walter is on autism spectrum and her mother is a hippie). Colin (Mike's friend) Belinda, and Cherri (Ellis's) are super fun. Ellis's sister, Dina, is a first class bitch. Her ex, Jack is an asshole.
There are a few things that knocked this down to a 3. Ellis was constantly pushing Mike away. For the WHOLE book. Enough already! I actually didn't have any issues with Mike. But Ellis so so fixated on her weight. Enough already (yes, I know I said that already)! The epilogue was appreciated; however, Ellis did something I had a huge problem with.
