Description:
"Even though it's 352 pages and I have a 10-month-old, I finished it in two days. Granted I didn't get any dishes or laundry done. Not since Twilight have I been so engrossed in a book (or so in love with the male lead) and I was unable to put it down! Spoiler alert: at the end, there's a moment where your jaw will literally drop. I actually said OUT LOUD, "Oh hell no." as I realized what was about to happen. I liked it too much to giveaway my copy. I really hope you'll hop on over to Amazon and get your copy. Please do- I need someone to talk about this book with! It's killing me. --(Not Quite) Susie Homemaker
"...Brown has drawn anaccurate picture of the malaise that infects certain bits of suburbia from the former exec who runs the neighborhood board with an iron fist to the outrage that erupts when children are hurt.. She has balanced the seeming frivolity of the stay at home mom's day with the frenzied activities and the masterful planning that is involved in running a family. Her main characters are sympathetic and likable. And the subtle (and not so subtle) look at stagnant marriage offers a bit of food for thought.. I gulped this down in less than a day.. It is escapist and light and as satisfying as a cold drink by the pool. And from the way Harry is described, he can be my pool boy whenever he wants!" -- Book'n Around
" Josie Brown has managed to create a robust mix of drama and humor to keep the reader entertained from page one straight through to the end.. Looking for drama oozing from every crack and crinkle of a book? This is the book for you. There were moments in this book where I sat forward, anxious to figure out what our hero and heroine would discover or where there relationship would head. There were other moments where my face was stuck in a permanent O position - "Oh no he/she just did not do that!" Ms. Brown has a great ability to tug at our emotions and lead us on a wild ride right alongside her characters. -- AJourneyOfBooks.com

Much more fun and dark than Janet Evanovich. I will love following this character, so I'm glad it's a series.

I definitely agree that sometimes we are a Katie. I consider any author that can make me relate, love, hate, then love again to a character is talented enough for me to read all their books. I appreciate all your thoughtful words and how you explain Katie. She is so human truly, even if she is a character, and that is what made me read 70% of the book in one sitting.
:) Thanks again.

Seriously, that means a lot to me. I could tell Katie really touch you (maddeningly so, LOL!) and that is how I wanted it! I didn't want her to be "predictable" in any way. She's a sharp lady -- and like all of us, sometimes does dumb things...
But waking up to our mistakes is life's journey, right?
When I turned in the book, I remember my agent saying "I hope you didn't give her the 'usual predictable' ending.' Well, I didn't...and I know that may have disappointed some readers...
But I wanted it to be real.
We all know a Katie.
Sometimes we ARE Katie.
And that's okay... as long as, eventually, we take our worst experiences and learn from them.
Marie, you can tell I appreciate your insights onto her character.... and your new friendship.
Great readers think alike,
:)
