Four Girls and a Guy

Rate this book
What happens to their secrets when five friends who attend the University of Chicago move in together? You'll find out in this prequel to the Girls in the City Series.
Alison Saint decided she couldn’t tolerate dorm life any longer and rented a two-bedroom apartment in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. She’s invited three friends to share the space in this introduction to the Girls in the City series. Edwin shows up later when Laura moves out.

Edwin is just a random guy from school, but he soon falls in love with Alison who’s keeping a secret from her family, and once hers is out, he’ll be free to share his feelings. But he also has a secret he’s been carrying around since he was a teen.

Laura, a criminal justice major, makes ends meet by taking cash from the guys she dates. Then, she finally learns who her birth father is and moves to Manhattan after college graduation to search for him. How much will her life change when she discovers he is one of the wealthiest men in the country?

Joan has one goal after law school, and that’s to join the largest criminal defense firm in the Mid Atlantic as soon as she passes the bar. One misstep however, a deputy from the DA’s office in Philadelphia is in love with her and she’s worried being on opposite sides of the aisle might not be beneficial when it comes time to apply for that job. Will that be enough to stop her from falling for him?

Samantha Karas, medical student, works at the local Greek bakery part time and when the owner’s brother comes from the old country, the chemistry between her and the older man is sizzling. The problem; a one nightstand which occurred months before has the potential be a tinderbox.

Meet Alison Saint from the Saints of San Diego, Laura Long from Pam of Babylon, Samantha Karas from the Greektown Stories, and Joan Greenway from Bittersweets.
Come along as five friends graduating from college embark on the next crazy stage of love and life.

Four Girls (Alison, Laura, Joan, and Samantha) and a Guy (Edwin) and all the intrigues and innuendoes you can imagine as the outcome of their living in one apartment… Each of them has a character of its own, fears, and aspirations, and the situation is ripe for trouble! Reminded me a little about Three’s Company but take that to a higher degree... Even more than that I was reminded of the novels I read in Suzanne Jenkins’ Pam of Babylon series, where the abundance of female characters and the singular male figure that touches all their lives in different ways make for a richly textured story.

Five stars.

Disclosure: I first learned of Suzanne Jenkins work when both of us were invited to take part in the same multi-author set. Love her writing, been a fan for a long time.

I want to read some of the future books about these characters. I'm hoping it's just a temporary thing that I am not able to see much in them beyond selfish, hard drinking, superficiality plus finding them pretty weird. From what we have seen so far, it's hard to understand how they were responsible enough to get great grades, enviable work ethic, and be accepted into prestigious University of Chicago and then medical and law school programs. Maybe it's me--I might be too old to understand them. But I am going to have faith this author is going to make me see depth and make me a believer.

growing pains

This book has 5 characters that are just starting out in adult lives and have the growing pains to prove it. When we see where they grew up and what their families are like, we can kind of see why they act the way they do. This book was very entertaining and gave me a few chuckles. Read this book and become engrossed in their lives.

As always another winner by Suzanne Jenkins. The book reminded me of the tv show Friends. A quick fun read.

Four Girls and a Guy - a review by Rosemary Kenny

A realistic, engaging story by Queen of Romantic Suspense, Suzanne Jenkins, Four Girls and a Guy, is a series opening prequel for her blend of Sex and the City, Friends (and even a flavour of Will and Grace for one quarter of the girl house-mates and college colleagues) into a unique and intriguing whole.

Each of the eponymous ladies, Laura, Samantha, Joan and Alison (Saint), who's in a relationship with the 'Guy', Eddie/Edwin, has their own separate storyline and issues/resolutions, which then mingle and separate in a glorious whole that will whet your raging appetite for the next novel in her Girls In the City series.

Get your copy today and get ready to gasp in amazement and joy as you revel in Four Girls and a Guy, by the fantastic Suzanne Jenkins. Don't delay!
