Publisher Comments:
As the celeb obituary writer for the New York Herald, Jane Conner can sum up a person's life in three hundred words. She could sum up her love life in even less: Great sex = great time. Commitment = annoyance overload. Maybe it has something to do with being overly critical, as her boss, the short-sighted idiot, put it. Being discerning has at least kept Jane from making the same relationship mistakes as her sister Ricki and best friend Emma. Hasn't it? Now, with the holidays bearing down like a freight train from You Screwed Up-ville, Jane's about to get a second chance she never expected. Ricki Conner has run her life on signs from the universe, and right now, she's looking for guidance about her boyfriend, Nate, a.k.a Mr. Mixed Signals. He keeps reassuring her that his divorce will be final by Christmas. So why is there still no ring on Ricki's finger? When the pregnancy test turns pink, it's a good sign...unless you've had wild ex-sex with your former boyfriend while the current one was out of town. This is not exactly the holiday gift Emma Dee had hoped for. It's bad enough that her career track at the bank has been derailed. Now, she gets to spend the season ladling eggnog to her friends and saying, oh by the way, I'm pregnant with another man's baby--drink up, everybody! Oh well, at least things can't get any worse...right?

I really liked this book. I enjoyed learning about the 3 different characters. It was pretty standard chick-lit but I liked it.

I've never heard of this book before, but looks like it's my style. Fits in perfectly with the Christmas in August theme.
I read this book around Christmas time. It was mostly light with a couple more serious issues addressed. It's actually the stories of three women woven into one. I enjoyed the style. The characters were quirky and interesting and mostly likable. I really liked the author's sense of humor and will look for more books by Carly Alexander in the future.
Mailed off via the GoodReads bookswap feature. Enjoy!
