Just completed #9 (purple) - On Second Thought by Kristan Higgins. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! In particular, Higgins' description of dating and online dating for a woman in her thirties was spot on - it thoroughly stinks! My only criticism is that it all tied up a bit too neatly for me in the end. Otherwise, good book! Definitely worth reading! 4 stars8/15
