Meredith McKay (aka "Saint Meredith") was the good girl
growing up in her New Jersey family of five. Now she lives
in Atlanta with her southern boyfriend, Travis. Family
dynamics rarely change, and older brother Christian and
younger sister Hope still play the roles of playboy and
spoiled brat, respectively.
When Meredith comes home for her former best friend
Jeannie's bachelorette party and upcoming marriage to
Christian, things seem normal. Everyone behaves just as
they always have. Her father hides in the basement with his
clipboards of instructions for breeding fish, and her
mother, the martyr, leaves for a well-deserved six-week
overseas trip with her sister.
The worry begins when her usually punctual father doesn't
show up for dinner after dropping mom at the airport. Hours
later, the phone rings, and he's broken a leg. Instead of
worrying mom, Meredith agrees to stay in New Jersey for the
summer to nurse her incapacitated father.
Through a series of family frustrations, heated meetings
with a now-sexy Scott Sheridan, and 10-year-old unresolved
arguments with her former best friend, Meredith realizes
both what she hasn't yet learned and how far she's come.
EVERYONE ELSE'S GIRL is a snappy read and follows Crane's
well-received first book, ENGLISH IS A SECOND LANGUAGE.
This is one you should read if you want a light, funny,
engaging novel.
Meredith McKay has gone to a lot of trouble to create the
picture-perfect life for herself - far away from her
troublesome family, thank you. When her father's car
accident forces her back to her hometown, however, she soon
discovers that there's no running away from family issues -
there's only delaying the inevitable. Can anyone sort out a
lifetime of drama in one hot summer? Throw in a hot guy
from back in high school with an ax to grind, a best friend
turned enemy turned soon-to-be-sister-in-law, and of
course, the sometimes irritating, sometimes delightful
members of her own family, and Meredith is on her way to
figuring out that a trip through the past is the best way
to move forward. With one revelation after another coming
to light, Meredith must reexamine all the things she's ever
believed, including the truth about herself. Could it be
that she isn't the picture-perfect good girl she always
thought she was?
