The Supermodel's Best Friend

First book I have read by this author. Loved Miles. Thought Lucy was a little annoying.

Lucy has a plan, one that involves a suburban home, 2.5 kids, and a spreadsheet to map out exactly what she needs to achieve. But when her long-time boyfriend dumps her via iPhone, it seems all her careful planning is for naught. Done trying to manage her own love life, she hands the reins to her best friends, hoping they’ll find better husband material for her than she’s been able to find herself. The Verdict: This one was first published forever ago, but the title kept catching my eye, and the synopsis looked like a fun ride, so I figured I’d throw it in my TBR pile. Lucy’s just been dumped by the guy she thought she’d spend forever with, and now she going to the wedding of a supermodel and a billionaire? Way to rub it in, universe. But she’s not giving up just yet, and since she’s clearly no good at finding a potential husband, she hands that duty over to her friends who are all too happy to help her out. Enter several eligible bachelors, including the delectable Miles. While the story is cute enough, I never really made any connection with Lucy, so I can’t really rave over it the way so many others have. For me, there were funny moments and then there were cringeworthy trying-too-hard-to-be-funny moments, and Lucy’s character was pretty inconsistent through it all. I liked Fawn a lot, and it was good to see that she and her incredibly rich groom were dealing with normal people problems like disapproving family members, but even that started to grate on my nerves as he had trouble truly standing up for himself and defending his bride to be. In the end, it was a little too slapstick for me, with characters who thrived on misunderstandings, crazy expectations, and nutty scenes that probably should have made me laugh but didn’t. I’m not saying it was bad writing or an awful story; I guess maybe it’s just for romantics with a different sense of humor than what I’ve got.

Loved this tangled story!

Good start(:

This is a fun read. Lucy's a planner and her life isn't following her plans. Dumped by her fiancé and attending her best friend's Eco lodge weekend long wedding celebration, Lucy is trying to get her life back on plan. But she never planned on Miles. Lots of entertaining characters, crazy antics, and a perfect HEA. Great Read!!

This was my first Gretchen Galway book. It kept my attention, made me laugh out loud! Made me cry. I'll have to check out her other offerings.

I loves Ms. Galway's book "This Time Next Door" so I had high hopes that this book would be good, too. Unfortunately, it seemed to spin its wheels a lot and never go anywhere. Most of the characters weren't that likable either.

Her other books are better.
