Despite the silly title and pastel cover, I think this book is smarter and better written than the average chick lit book (I don’t read a lot of chick lit, so I could be wrong about this).

Keeley Murdoch is a smart, headstrong , interior designer who catches her fiancé and her best friend having sex at her wedding rehearsal dinner, and then proceeds to throw a hissy fit, hence the title. The rest of the book she goes about putting her life back together throwing herself into her work designing and furnishing an old mansion for her new client, the equally headstrong Will Mahoney.

There is the standard gay friend, lots of description about beautiful furniture, and a little mystery too when Keeley decides to find out what ever happened to her mother after she ran off with another man when Keeley was 7.

Keeley questions her ideas about love, marriage, and fidelity, giving the story some thoughtful reflection.

This is definitely not a bodice-ripper, and very little sex is in it per se. If you’re looking for that book, this isn’t it. But if you are looking for a light, well-written, fun read for the pool, beach or vacation this should do the trick.
