We read a lot around here! Like a lot. So we figured why not share some of the good reads we’re reading. We wouldn’t be good mom friends if we didn’t. Whether we’re sharing where to get the best latte, tutors or sales on stuff we need, it’s what moms do!
That being said, we wanted to share a book we read recently. If you’re looking for a good, light and sexy story… keep reading.
Act Your Age, Eve Brown is the last book in a series and they have all been such good reads. The Brown sisters are such a fun bunch and each uniquely interesting. This book focuses on Eve. Of the sisters, she’s seen as the hot mess. She’s the only one that has yet to narrow down a career and get serious about it. After blowing her last job (she freed the doves at a wedding she planned), her parents have had it and decide to give her an ultimatum. She needs to get a job and keep it or she’ll be cut off from their bankroll.
She manages to land an interview, albeit accidentally, at a bed and breakfast. The owner isn’t interested in hiring this walking tornado. He expects perfection. Some events happen that make it virtually impossible for him to say no. One other thing, since she’s running from her parents, she has no place to live. A friend of the owner, offers the spare bedroom of the owner – without his knowledge.
At one point, she hits her new boss with her car – accidentally – breaking his arm. Now he needs her more than he could have ever expected. They are polar opposites which makes for a really fun ride. One really cool aspect of the book is that both of the main characters are on the autism spectrum. I love how the book explores that in a real way. It’s something the characters address and talk through without stigma. This is a really good read.
