She's smart. She's savvy...She's...well, she's working on the thighs. And with God as her witness, she'll never let that man spoil her happy ending!
Phoebe Grant is everyone's favorite movie-geek -- unbeatable at trivia, convinced that all the world's a movie screen. She can organize a four-hankie chick-flickathon with a wave of her tall, nonfat, double-mocha. And she's a shoo-in for the job of her dremas -- movie reviewer for the newspaper where she works.
Enter Alex Spencer -- not only gorgeous but also a film-buff, perfectly cast for a celluloid kiss and a fade to sunset. Unfortunately, Alex is the villain who sends Phoebe packing to the last place on earth she wants to be -- back home to boring little Barley, California.
But wait. It couldn't be. Dark, handsome and annoying Alex...in Barley?
Can Phoebe protec her hometown -- and her heart -- and prove It's a Wonderful Life? Or is her promising future truly Gone With The Wind?The first Christian chicklit I owned and read and I have no regrets! :) Coming fresh from re-reading my Shopaholic books, I saw some connections between Becky Bloomwood/Brandon (Shopaholic) with Phoebe Grant, the protagonist of this novel. The difference is, Phoebe is less of an airhead (I'm sorry to all Shopaholic fans :p), and she goes to church, attends a church singles group, reads the Bible and prays! :P
It is a cute and funny story of a person who has dreams of her own that she wants to reach, but Someone Bigger intervenes and steers her to a better place where He wants her to be. :) For sisters, it would make you appreciate your girl friends, your family and most of all, your singlehood. And it gives us an assurance that God indeed has a plan for each of us. :)
Heartwarming indeed. A definite recommend. Who knows Christian chicklit could be this good? :)
