Since I loved her other series books; Ashley Stockingdale & The Spa Girls, I expected this series to grab me & pull me in quick.
It didn't.
This one layed flat with me. I really wanted to like it more. I cannot pinpoint an exact reason why. Maybe it was that I didn't feel a connection with the main character.
***SPOILER***
What I really didn't get was that she left the stifling, small town life she led in Wyoming and left her mother behind to fend for herself. Even though she 'thinks' she's going to be bringing her mother out to live with her when she get's settled & set up in LA, she thinks her mother is going to miraculously agree to all of this. So, she's stopped being an enabler to her mother and who shows up in LA? None other than her mother who has left the state illegally & is on the run from police in LA. So, then Sarah turns around and absolutely HAS to bail her mother out?!
So much more I could complain about...the snide remarks from her 'wonderful and loving' cousin, her best friend and her meltdown (almost needed to be left out of this book) & the caustic & abusive behavior of her boss. Not to mention Dane & all the stuff between them.
Anyways, I hope someone else gets more out of this book that I did.
Like I said, I wanted to love it....I just couldn't.
