When Amanda Scott returns to Kansas to be a bridesmaid in her former best friend’s wedding, her mood is far from festive. Newly dumped and barely making it in the Big Apple after losing her job, Amanda is both heartsick and homesick. Stopping in at a coffee bar, to ask for directions, she meets barista and Harry Connick Jr. look-alike, Luke, who reminds her what she misses about the Midwest, flannel-wearing cowboys. The New Year’s Eve nuptials provide plenty of drama, humor, and the perfect time to reflect on her journey. Could all the wrong turns in her life – and the GPS she calls Jill – lead her to the right place after all?
Stone's quick witted writing is refreshing in the genre of chick-lit. The story is light, not in a bad way, but the kind of book that entertains and doesn't insult your intelligence. Also, being a Midwesterner, I totally understood the characters and loved getting to know them.
I read this to fullfill the letter N in the alphabet challenge I was working on for last year. I really enjoyed this story - it was sweet and very cute and funny! Great for a light read of chic lit! Just what I needed to get the new year started!
