We have Bella, recently divorced, part of a rather large and slightly eccentric family with step-mothers, step-siblings, an over the top father, it all feels ‘been there, done that’. It has some appealing moments, including Bella’s dog-napping of her one true friend Precious the Chihuahua. There is a meet cute of who is obviously the soon to be new man in Bella’s life, complications with the ex who is now with her sister, but it all seems a little forced. It was an appealing little book, pure fluff and nice for a day at the beach.
As a side note I found the constant product mentions very distracting- MAC, Maybelline, Paul Mitchell, OPI - with no signs of stopping, it was kind of annoying after awhile.
Cute but forgettable.

If you want to get away and step into someone else’s life story for a bit, this is a great read for you. In this story, Bella is working in her family's salon when life has pushed her down. So now, she is working there trying to figure out her next move. While trying to put her life back together after her divorce with her previous husband, Bella meets a young man who is very interesting. At first, she cannot stand him but he begins to grow on her. Who knows if a little romance could develop between the two of them. Along the way, Bella finds a little friend who will always be there for her. You may know her as man's best friend, but in this case, it is women's best friend. This book was comical and easy to relate to. I think this book would catch the interest of most girls. It tells you about the ups and downs of life. If you are patient and give everything time, life will work out on its own. ”
