READ MY BOOK REVIEW

Release Date: November 8, 2014
Genre: Chick Lit

I thought this book was a cute but predictable read. Having never read a book by Lacey London before I wanted to give it a try because I was in the mood for a chick lit read and I saw that it was free within kindle unlimited. In all honesty, I did enjoy it quite a bit despite the fact that everything is very quick and too the point. There may not have been a lot of growth in the story or layers to the characters, but it was a fun read and I will be grabbing the next book in the series. I do hope to see a bit more growth in the characters though because I fear that if I don't that I won't continue the series. 

ABOUT THE BOOK 

As the title states, readers will meet Clara Andrews in this novel. You will get to know her (although admittedly, not on a deep level) and learn a lot about her job and dating habits. Clara is a designer- or, becoming one, thanks to her best friend Marc who owns a design company. But she isn't on her own yet and needs to work with the new designer that is coming in from America. Unbeknownst to Clara, this designer who flies in to work for their company is no other than a man that she eyed at the bar... When she had vomit in her hair and pepto-bism0l on her dress. 

From there a relationship begins to blossom between both Clara and Oliver. Of course, there is another man who she happens to be dating as well, but she needs to let him down gently (and in person) because her feelings for Oliver had grown exponentially in the last few weeks. But problems arise when these two meet in person, and her whole world is tilting on its axis.. 

What will happen with Clara and Oliver? If you want to know, give this book a try! 

MY OVERALL THOUGHTS OF THIS BOOK 
If you're looking for a book with incredible character depth and development you won't find it in this book. But, if you want light and fun reading with the chance to follow the characters throughout a big series then I recommend this book to you. I personally DID like it, I just didn't love it. I am hoping this changes as the series progresses. We shall see!!
