BUBBLES REBOOTS
BUBBLES IS BACK! And so is trouble in an all-new adventure featuring Lehigh, Pennsylvania's hairdresser/newspaper reporter Bubbles Yablonsky. Having survived a slip-and-fall on Payless heels, Bubbles catapults off a Caddy in the PolkaFest parade and into the arms of danger as she tracks down the whereabouts of two missing beauty queens while also keeping a mascaraed eye out for her hunka hunka burning love, Stiletto. On hand to help - or maybe hinder - are a couple of septuagenarian survivalists shilling their Die-O-Ramas, an office assistant obsessed with UPS drivers, a dude named Stinky and Josh Simon the billionaire casino owner who just might be the knight in shining armor to rescue Bubbles from an aluminum-sided world. Or maybe not. Homemade beauty treatments and recipes featuring authentic Pennsylvania cuisine complement the writing. (It sucks and there's not nearly enough!) The 7th installment in this award-winning (Agatha, Romantic Times) and bestselling series published in seven language will have you smiling with relief that you didn't pay more.

Okay, so when is the next book coming out -dammit! You can't leave us hanging like this without us knowing when our misery will end!
Yes, this book ends on a sort of cliffhanger -now notice I said a "sort of" cliffhanger. I can't tell you much about the story itself, because anything I say is going to be a spoiler!
And let me tell you if you have been reading the entire series you may start out a little disappointed with this book at first. But stick with it-it really is a fantastic entry into this series. I just wonder why it took Ms. Strohmeyer so long to get back to it.
The characters are exactly as I remember them, but Bubbles has grown a bit, Dan is still the ex that I want to smack in the face with a cast-iron frying pan, Sandy is still, well, Sandy and Bubbles Mom and Genevieve are still the same.
We are missing Bubbles daughter Jane who has gone her own way and Stiletto only makes peripheral visits and nothing hot to look forward to. (bummer) The heat has always been good in this series but never lewd or 'dirty' if you know what I mean. No graphic descriptions of body parts or fluids thank you very much!!!
Another interesting thing to note -this series is really a good price -2.99$ for each book -not a bad value for something you might read a second or third time. HOWEVER -not all of the books are in e-book form yet and I really hope they come out that way very soon.
I recommend this series---so much so, that even though I finished the entire series yesterday, I may very well re-read it again when I finish the next 5 books I have on my TBR pile!

Disjointed and disappointing.

Sarah Strohmeyer's BUBBLES REBOOTS.
What a labor of love, a fitting tribute, the fulfillment of Josh Simon’s request, with donations to two charities Josh had selected – Planned Parenthood and The Cancer Research Institute. <3
The character named for Josh epitomizes the very definition of mensch, the exact opposite of ex-husband Dan, whom I'm wishing someone would deck.
Margie! I don’t know if only former readers of TLC would appreciate UPS-appreciating Margie Mancini, but I suspect they others would, at least nearly as much — she’s delightful! This is a wild, amusement park ride of a book, only tangentially connected to reality in an Alice Through the Looking Glass way, full of lovely, caring people looking after each other. I think I want to be Bubbles, but for now, reading will have to do.

Welcome back, Bubbles!
Finding this title, (thank you, Nancy) was a pleasant surprise and a wonderful diversion to all things 2020. Bubbles is just what the doctor ordered 😉

Great except for the end. Made no sense to me.

I have read all of the Bubbles books and love these fun reads, but the ending did not make sense! Perhaps the author can clarify?

I haven't finished it. I put the book aside for a more worthy book. Book is a lot of nonsenseand is NOT as good as her past ones. Just my opinion.

Need to read previous books
A very amusing read for a Pennsylvanian. However I was at a bit of a loss since I haven't read the previous books and this is a continuation of plot points from previous books. Also though the mystery is sort of solved by book's end, there is no real resolution - it is basically a cliffhanger ending. I did learn the Rock send to high school in PA.

Fast, fun read. I was so happy to have a new Bubbles to read. It has been too long.
