It all started with a powdered donut.
Quinn smacks literally into blue-eyed, British hunk, Henry in town for job interviews. They exchange digits and after several dates, they still don't know the other's last name or their job.
Imagine their shock and surprise when Henry Pierce is announced the television news station's, executive producer and he finds out Quinn's the midday anchor. Henry immediately tells her they can't continue dating, because of a prior dating nightmare at a previous station. But she knows he's the one.
Meanwhile Quinn has another set of challenges, trying to lose 20 lbs., receiving dieting books from her mother, a viewer that writes her daily nasty personal emails about her appearance, and the evening female news anchor viewed as the daughter of Satan who tries belittle Quinn at every turn.
At a morning meeting Quinn pitches a "date with a station intern" and after lots of discussion it turns into a "date with our new executive producer." Quinn's hopes are obliterated! Against Henry's wishes three blind dates are set up and then he has to choose, but he doesn't choose any of the three women. But he does make an announcement!
"The future, it would seem, is looking very bright."
Quinn is delightful neurotic character. Having worked in a newsroom, I recognized all the characters who work at the station. The dialogue is quick, fresh and authentic. JUST A GIRL is definitive romantic chick-lit and lots of fun!
Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for the book in exchange for an honest review.
By day, Becky Monson is a mother to three young children, and a wife. By night, she escapes with reading books and writing. An award-winning author, Becky uses humor and true-life experiences to bring her characters to life. She loves all things chick-lit (movies, books, etc.), and wishes she had a British accent. She has recently given up Diet Coke for the fiftieth time and is hopeful this time will last... but it probably won't.
