About the Book:

She's smart. She's savvy. She's...well, she's working on the thighs. And with God as her witness, she'll never let that man spoil her happy ending!

Phoebe Grant is everyone's favorite movie geek-unbeatable at trivia, convinced that all the world's a movie screen. She can organize a four-hankie chick-flickathon with a wave of her tall, nonfat, double mocha. And she's a shoo-in for the job of her dreams-movie reviewer for the newpaper where she works.

Enter Alex Spencer-not only gorgeous but also a film buff, perfectly cast for a celluloid kiss and a fade to sunset. Unfortunately, Alex is the villain who sends Phoebe packing to the last place on earth she wants to be-back home to boring little Barley, California.

But wait. It couldn't be. Dark, handsome, and annoying Alex...in Barley?

Can Phoebe protect her hometown-and her heart-and prove It's a Wonderful Life? Or is her promising future truly Gone with the Wind?
 

My Rating & Thoughts:    


Enjoyable story about Phoebe trying to follow her dreams of big city life and finding a man. However her plans take a hit when she loses her job and struggles to hold onto the next. It seems like all her friends are coupling up while she goes on one bad date another. Eventually she ends up back in the small town she tried to escape and feels like her life is spiraling backwards rather than forwards. But God is working through it all and eventually she sees how He has a plan for her and has brought her to where he wants her. I laughed so much while reading, Phoebe finds herself in some embarrassing situations. This was a fun read.
