Review:
Annie Adams is surprised to learn her long term, live in boyfriend has decided to break up with her. Shocked and devastated, Annie goes for a drink, and finds a handsome chef manning the bar instead. Three months later, Annie and Griffin say I do and she says goodbye to Los Angeles to head with Griffin to his hometown in Massachusetts.
But when they get there, Annie is overwhelmed. Not only by the town, and her new life, but also by Griffin’s own life, his family, and his ex girlfriend who still lives there.
I wasn’t prepared by how much I was going to love this book.
Funny, clever and realistic, The First Husband is a bittersweet romance about finding who you love in your partners and in yourself.
Annie is sweet, smart and clever. I liked her voice and thought she was a person I cuold probably be friends with.
Annie’s best friend Jordan is sharp, hilarious and bitchy. A good push you for your own good kind of best friend who says what Annie’s afraid to say out loud.
But this chick lit isn’t just fluffy fun. Annie is trying to come to terms with some real problems, including her own self worth and self esteem. As her job plummets and she comes to terms with her actions, she must realize what is the life she wants. What is most important to her. And what happens when maybe that has changed.
