Generally, when I hear "the perfect beach read!" I roll my eyes and move along. I hate superficial books like the Shopaholic series and Gossip Girl - not because they're superficial, necessarily, but because everyone in the damn books is SUCH AN ASSHOLE.

Loved it! The relationship between the sisters was awesome. I like that that was the focus of the book more than any romantic relationships. Plus there were several things that made me laugh out loud...mostly stuff from Brick Berlin.
Can't wait to read this! Want a Nook version!
