Publisher's summary

The California sunshine’s not quite so bright for three sisters who get dumped in the same week....

Finola, a popular LA morning-show host, is famously upbeat until she’s blindsided on live TV by the news that her husband is sleeping with a young pop sensation who has set their affair to music. While avoiding the tabloids and pretending she’s just fine, she’s crumbling inside, desperate for him to come to his senses and for life to go back to normal.

Zennie’s breakup is no big loss. Although the world insists she pair up, she’d rather be surfing. So agreeing to be the surrogate for her best friend is a no-brainer - after all, she has an available womb and no other attachments to worry about. Except...when everyone else, including her big sister, thinks she’s making a huge mistake, being pregnant is a lot lonelier - and more complicated - than she imagined.

Never the tallest, thinnest, or prettiest sister, Ali is used to being overlooked, but when her fiancé sends his disapproving brother to call off the wedding, it’s a new low. And yet Daniel continues to turn up “for support”, making Ali wonder if maybe - for once - someone sees her in a way no one ever has.

But side by side by side, these sisters will start over and rebuild their lives with all the affection, charm, and laugh-out-loud humor that is classic Susan Mallery.

And don’t miss the newest heartfelt tale of friendship and sisterhood from Susan Mallery, The Stepsisters!

A different aspect

I am a Susan Mallery fan. I have waited for some of the books that had a slow beginning. This book started good and characters become more human with each passing moment. This is a fun piece to listen to.

Great book!

This book will keep you on you toes with the twists and turns of the lives of 3 sisters. The learning to believe in yourself and grow. The love and compassion for others. Learning love can hurt yet, you can overcome. I highly recommend this book. Characters are believable and circumstances could be real. Enjoy!!!

es entretenida y con un bonito mensaje

al comienzo me costó tomarle el ritmo, luego en otra reseña comentaron que si le bajabas la velocidad mejoraba y uff lo disfruté un montón. me gusta mucho las dinámicas que genera Susan y esta no fue la excepción. es entretenida, con momentos divertidos y con un mensaje sobre cómo debes encontrarte primero a ti para conectar con los demás.

Great Story but HORRIBLE NARRATION! !

I struggled to keep listening and not return the book. I try not to bash a narrator, but to say this robotic sounding narration was bad is an understatement. I kept listening because the story was well written. This one is a"listen at your own risk".

Talk About a Time to Reflect

This was probably one of my favorites.
I bounced back and forth between who I liked or disliked amongst the sisters. The selflessness, growth, courage, and support each of these woman had/found was very inspiring.
There weren't a lot of laughs, but definitely a lot of room to reflect. I found a little of myself in each of these women.

couldn't get past the narrator

I only listened to 5 min of the book. I tried to get past the narrator but I couldn't. she had no emotion and didn't bring out the personality of the characters. this was unfortunate because the story seamed fun and entertaining. I will probably buy the book so I can see what it is all about
