I haven't read any chick-lit for a while, but I am sure they used not to be so full of strong language and obsessing about sex. Nothing wrong with that, provided the reader knows what she's getting. You might want to pass ONE SIZE FITS ALL around your circle of girlfriends, but I suggest keeping it away from your granny. This is third in a set of books called Classy 'n' Sassy.

Classy and Sassy is the name of an exotic lingerie shop, where Penny Woodley works for the two lady bosses, her best friends. At least, they are at the start of the story. Bryn and Mia are definitely there for her when she announces she's divorcing her husband Jack. She's only mid-twenties, so she can find plenty of other guys. But when Penny's bills inexplicably mount up and she needs a raise, none is forthcoming. As a well-raised young lady she's never had to economise, and the friends explain that this is just what she'll have to do. And by the way, her marketing degree has been so helpful in the past, but would she mind just putting clothes back on hangers while the new younger hire rearranges their social media campaign? This part of the story is really well written showing how the gradual changes in attitude of all three women come about and how their aims diverge.

Penny, not one to waste her newly single status, soon acquires an admirer, a decent, hardworking guy named Thor. He's a school football coach and unfortunately for her, all the soccer moms think he's droolworthy. Can she cope? It's not that she doesn't trust Thor, but the end of her marriage has left her pretty insecure. And he did leave a trail of girls behind him during his student days.

We also get Thor's point of view which leaves us in little doubt about his attitudes, and I was pleased to see that he's very responsible about sex. However with family issues on the table, there's more happening in the background than first meets the eye.

All in all I was much more impressed by this book when I'd reached the end than I was from the first couple of chapters. Stephanie Haefner seems to be writing about twentysomethings who start to grow up only when challenged. ONE SIZE FITS ALL is a fun and sexy read which will get you thinking about the nature of friendship and love.

SUMMARY

In this saucy, sexy romp—third in the Classy 'n' Sassy series—a lingerie shop marketing director is ready to get back in the dating game after divorcing her cheating ex-husband. Will she finally find her one and only this time around?

Penny used to love working at Classy 'n' Sassy Lingerie shop as the marketing director for her best friends Bryn and Mia, but lately, hearing stories of love and passion from customers is grating on her nerves since she’s been unlucky in the love department and is still recovering from her messy divorce. Determined to get back out there and have a little fun, Penny wants to start looking for the man who will truly be the love of her life, but the hunky bouncer at her favorite bar keeps catching her eye...

As a football coach and bouncer at the local watering hole, Thor’s always had pretty good luck with women. But he’s tired of that life, and wants to find that “something” that's been missing in all of his past relationships. And there’s no way a bar is the place to meet that special someone, right? Although lately, when Bryn and Mia and their newly-single, hot-as-sin, classy, and sassy friend Penny stop by for drinks, he’s been thinking maybe the bar is exactly the right place to be…

Written with Stephanie Haefner’s signature sexy wit, One Size Fits All is a perfect laugh-out-loud love story.
