Kate's been depressed
ever since yet another long-term boyfriend unceremoniously dumped her.
When her younger and married sister Kelly convinces her the way to meet a
quality man is for the two of them to sign up for a volleyball class,
she s just desperate enough to agree. But Kate becomes so fixated on
their coach that she fails to see an unlikely but perfect match right in
front of her.
Kelly s been less than happy for longer than she wants to
admit. She s the one who appears to have it all: the perfect husband,
the big house and the beautiful daughter. Despite it all, she feels an
emptiness she can t explain and is conflicted when it s her volleyball
coach who offers an answer.
I'll Have Who She's Having follows Kate and
Kelly as they battle themselves and each other in their search for a
happy ending. Through a series of hardships and self-doubt, they both
realize they were looking for happiness in the wrong places. It s a
novel for anyone who ever secretly let their insecurity get the best of
them. ~~ synopsis from Goodreads
I just finished reading The D Word by Liz and Lisa and loved it! I loved it so much that I got their first book, I'll Have Who She's Having and read it too.
It is amazing to me that 2 people can work so closely together to be able to write a book. It seems to me that writing a book by yourself would be challenging enough, but then to throw in another person, yikes! Obviously these 2 women know each other very well to be able to produce not 1, but 2 novels and a fabulous blog, that is a absolute treat to read.
But I digress -- so about the book. I ll Have Who She's Having is a great chick-lit read, perfect for the summer. The story centers around 2 sisters and basically their love lives, or maybe you could say, their lack of love lives. All they want is to be happy, isn't that what everyone wants? These 2 sisters bumble through their lives thinking something other than what is right in front of them will make them happy.
This book is serious and sad in places but also heartwarming in other spots. And hilarious is thrown in, in a lot of places, just like I imagine the authors to be. Kate and Kelley are very likable characters and as I was reading, I really hoped they would find love and happiness and a happy ending.
Thanks Liz and Lisa for another great story. Can't wait to see what you gals do next!
