Publisher's summary

For twenty-nine-year-old Lola Watson, life is finally looking up: she has fabulous friends, is working her dream job at a popular magazine, and has just inherited a beautiful house from her late aunt. Sure, her love life isn’t in great shape, but she’s got time, right? And so what if her new neighbors are a little too friendly (i.e., incredibly nosy)?

Okay, maybe she could stand for a little less drama from her friend Hubert, who unexpectedly moves in after his girlfriend kicks him out. Other than that, life is great! At least, until her little sister Mindy announces that she is getting married — on Lola’s thirtieth birthday, no less. It’s the final straw in Mindy’s long history of one-upping her sister, and so Lola’s best friend Piper hatches the perfect revenge: find a guy to pose as Lola’s fiancé and steal her sister’s thunder by announcing an engagement at Mindy’s reception. It’s an ambitious plan, and not just any man will do.

Enter Ryan Moriarty, Lola’s handsome, well-dressed, and wonderfully mysterious new neighbor. He’s definitely a catch, and their burgeoning relationship sets the neighborhood gossips’ tongues to wagging. But when their well-meaning meddling unearths surprising revelations, what they find could derail Lola’s entire plan — or enrich her life beyond her dreams. With its cynical-yet-loveable heroine, this lighthearted romantic comedy serves as an entertaining reminder that the deepest love and the truest friendship often can be found closer to home than we ever imagined possible.

Im reading it but....

I didn't trash it entirely but the leading lady is so whiney, it was a toss up whether to continue or not!

Refreshingly unique but not overly so

I have a very mixed opinion, but mostly it's good. This is not a typical romance, altho there is some cliche to it. In general it was refreshingly different, and offers some romantic life lessons. My biggest complaint is actually that it is far too short.

Hidden Hero

I enjoyed the story in the narration very much. The characters of Hubert and Lola were pleasingly opposite. The character of Ryan left a little bit to be desired.

Why did I take so long to start this?

This was definitely an easy read that was funny, charming and absolutely worth the read. I'm surprised at how much I liked it.

Light and fun!

I giggled through most of this book. The characters were real and easy to relate to. The narrator brought the book to life.

Quick and fun

Ni malo, ni bueno

Este es el cuarto o quinto libro qué leo de Karen a l que considero una buena escritora.
El libro es aceptable pero el más fñojo de todos los libros suyos que leí hasta ahora.
Es cierto que en varias ocasiones te hace sonreír pero...
E un libro para pasar el rato, si con eso te alcanza adelante

Cheerful

Cheerful, engaging book. I sometimes avoid romances because I dislike the smutty bits. The author aimed for funny rather than sleazy, and showed excellent restraint. Good narrator too.
