Slightly Suburban
It seemed exciting at first, but after two and a half years in
New York, Tracey has to admit her life…well, sucks. Sure, she makes a
decent living as a copywriter, but Blaire Barnett Advertising is a
cutthroat world that basically swallows her life. If she does manage to
get home before nine, she's usually greeted by husband Jack's best bud,
an almost—permanent fixture in their tiny, unaffordable apartment. Add
the circus freaks stomping around upstairs, and Tracey decides it's
time to move.
After quitting her job, she and Jack take the
plunge into the nearby suburbs of Westchester and quickly discover
they're in way over their heads. Their fixer-upper is unfixable, the
stay-at-home yoga moms are a bore and Tracey yearns for her old
friends—she even misses work!
So which life does she really
want? Other than Jack's wife, who is she? If Tracey merely has to find
her own Slightly Suburban niche, it had better be just around the
corner, because there're no subways here!
Slightly Suburban picks up with Tracey and Jack where Slightly Married left off, and it's just a charming to read. The series reminds me a lot of Mad About You. SS is a great, fun, fast read. I highly recommend it.
This has nothing to do with your post
it's just your most recent blog entry.
We've set a date for our eHQ-DFWarea get-together, but I couldn't email you (I tried your other blog/WEB sites and it bounced). Anyway, it sounds like you'll be stuck at home (poor you!). Or maybe by then, your dh will be willing to get you out of the house and drive you down here.
If you want the info, you can email me at rmg _ 303 @ yahoo . com (without the spaces).

Yay!
I'm glad to hear that it won't disappoint. I've got this one on order just WAITING for it. I've enjoyed all the previous "Slightly" novels and hoped that this one would hold up well with them.
Thanks for the review.
