IT'S ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND
Lauren Lipton

Romance Chick-Lit

When Iris Hedge left her husband and her home in California for her dream job in New York, she never imagined that in five short weeks she'd be unemployed and desperately agreeing to follow Steve, her best friend's sister's husband, to see if he's cheating. But a girl's got to pay the rent. The first thing Iris notices about Steve is that he isn't nearly as boring looking and stuffy as Val, her best friend, claims he is. In fact, he's pretty hot for a business man. The next thing Iris notices is that Steve is doing exactly what he said he would be doing, jogging in Central Park.

Although Iris is not a professional, all is going well until the day she meets Steve face-to-face when she literally runs into him as she roller blades to keep up with him. Sparks fly. Iris knows how wrong it is to lust after this man, so she informs Vicky that she's not going to follow him anymore. Vicky begs Iris to follow Steve just one more time and that's when Iris makes the biggest mistake of all. When Steve rescues her from a cat/dog scuffle, she thanks him by name, When Steve demands an explanation, she lets slip that his wife has hired her to keep an eye on him. They strike a deal where Steve will give Iris pointers to help Vicky be a better wife. As they get to know each other better, Iris finds it harder and harder not to fall for him, and in turn decides he must be a creep because he seems attracted to her, too.

Chockfull of delightful characters, IT'S ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND is a lively, fun read that only gets better as the story progresses. Watching Iris follow Steve, come to terms with her divorce and find her place in New York City will keep you entertained all the way to the surprise twist at the end. I definitely recommend reading this one.

SUMMARY

What do you do when the Big Apple bites back? San Fernando Valley native Iris Hedge left her husband and traded coasts for the job of a lifetimeโ€”only to lose it in a New York minute. Now unattached, unemployed, and broke, she dreads her loneliness and imminent credit card billsโ€ฆ until sheโ€™s offered an exciting, new gig: spying on a possibly cheating, uptown husband named Steve. Soon Iris is trading her business wardrobe for the stalker chic of sweatpants and dark eyewear, and navigating the hazards of urban surveillanceโ€”Central Parkโ€™s fascist dog- walking rules, rejection from exclusive boutiques, and a series of unnatural hair colors. But as she steps into uncharted territory, she wonders if her life will ever go back to normalโ€”and if normal is anything sheโ€™ll ever be happy with.
