They have the same experience on the same day... The three Schmitt
sisters must pull themselves up to carry on after they're dumped by the
men in their lives. One sister will help her best friend, another tries to
avoid humiliation, and the last tries not to fall in love with her rescuer. A
mother who wants what her friends have - grandbabies - along with
help moving to a smaller house. Will they take back the men in their
lives, or can they figure out that their lives are better off without them?
Ali is engaged to be married in about seven weeks. She's the sister
their parents never paid much attention to like she was invisible. But
her fiance sends his brother to call off the wedding, and Ali is unsure of
what to do next. Zennie has always figured she would spend her life
alone. She's just not that into men and has no feelings for the man
she's currently dating, so when they break up, she's happy to have
more time to go surfing. But when she volunteers to be a surrogate
mother for her friend, Zennie wonders if being alone is really what she
wants. Finola is about to start a week-long vacation with her husband
Nigel until he devastates her world by revealing his affair with a young
pop star.
These three women are brought closer together as sisters because of
the emotional upheaval they go through and realize that you can rely on
your family no matter what. Friendships can be like family, and as these
sisters learn, family can also be like great friendships. And even if you
don't think you need someone in your life you'll find the one for you. CALIFORNIA GIRLS by Susan Mallery
is an emotional story with some humor thrown into the mix. You want to
find out what happens. I look forward to catching up with these sisters
in the near future!
The California sunshine’s not quite so bright
for three sisters who get dumped in the same week…
Finola, a popular LA morning-show host, is famously upbeat
until she’s blindsided on live TV by the news that her
husband is sleeping with a young pop sensation who has set
their affair to music. While avoiding the tabloids and
pretending she’s just fine, she’s crumbling inside,
desperate for him to come to his senses and for life to go
back to normal.
Zennie’s breakup is no big loss. Although the world insists
she pair up, she’d rather be surfing. So agreeing to be the
surrogate for her best friend is a no-brainer—after all, she
has an available womb and no other attachments to worry
about. Except…when everyone else, including her big sister,
thinks she’s making a huge mistake, being pregnant is a lot
lonelier—and more complicated—than she imagined.
Never the tallest, thinnest or prettiest sister, Ali is used
to being overlooked, but when her fiancé sends his
disapproving brother to call off the wedding, it’s a new
low. And yet Daniel continues to turn up “for support,”
making Ali wonder if maybe—for once—someone sees her in a
way no one ever has.
But side by side by side, these sisters will start over and
rebuild their lives with all the affection, charm and
laugh-out-loud humor that is classic Susan Mallery.
