AndOne Last Thing by Molly Harper, 310 pages
"Lacey Terwilliger's shock and humiliation over her husband's
philandering prompt her to add some bonus material to Mike's company
newsletter: stunning Technicolor descriptions of the special brand of
"administrative support" his receptionist gives him. The detailed
mass e-mail to Mike's family, friends, and clients blows up in her face, and
before one can say "instant urban legend," Lacey has become the
pariah of her small Kentucky town, a media punch line, and the defendant in
Mike's defamation lawsuit. Her seemingly perfect life up in flames,
Lacey retreats to her family's lakeside cabin, only to encounter an aggravating
neighbor named Monroe. A hunky crime novelist with a low tolerance for drama,
Monroe is not thrilled about a newly divorced woman moving in next door. But
with time, beer, and a screen door to the nose, a cautious friendship develops
into something infinitely more satisfying. Lacey has to make a decision
about her long-term living arrangements, though. Should she take a job writing
caustic divorce newsletters for paying clients, or move on with her own life,
pursuing more literary aspirations? Can she find happiness with a man who tells
her what he thinks and not what she wants to hear? And will she ever be able to
resist saying one . . . last . . . thing?" I've really enjoyed all of Harper's
supernatural romances. They're all funny and this book is too.
Anyone who's liked her other books will probably like this also despite its
lack of supernatural characters. Fans of the romantic comedy will also
like this book.
