Not Another Bad Date


WOW Another great book by Rachel Gibson! This concludes what I think of as her mini series, not really a series just friends that pop up in each book but with their own story. In this one Adele, the last single of the bunch finds love with Zach. Throw in some small town Texas fun, football, a moody teenager and Zach's dead wife's ghost and we are in for a rockin' good time.
The plot was pretty standard, coed falls for boy, boy falls for girl, boy finds out ex is preggers and leaves girl... fast forward 14 years to a reunion and watch the sparks fly. But the humor throughout the book makes it hard to put down.
OK so I read it all in one sitting...
What I really liked was the ghost of the dead wife. When I read the summary I expected Devon (Wife) to be part of the book, floating around during the scenes and manipulating the characters. Ms. Gibson does the unexpected here and Devon is put through her own version of Hell as she works towards her own redemption.
Good book, great for the beach or a lazy night at home.
