After 10 years of marriage Bella Shaughnessy's husband leaves her and after the divorce he starts dating Bella's half-sister Sophia. To make matters worse all of Lucky Shaughnessy's children, from 3 different wives, work for Lucky in his hair salon/make up artist business so Bella has to work with Sophia on a daily basis.
On one of her make-up artist gigs Bella meets Sean Ryan. Bella however is still hurting over her ex and her sister's betrayal so she keeps him at arm's length and just when Sean starts to break down the wall Bella puts up, he starts to get cold feet about dating a recently divorced woman.
Summer Blowout is a fun quick read. I quickly fell in love with Bella, her dysfunctional family and her new puppy with highlights in his fur. I highly recommend this book for chick-lit lovers even though it's lighter than the typical âworking girl gets boyâ chick-lit story. Cook's writing is genuine with lots of humor.

Claire Cook always writes fun summer reads! I promise that you'll be obsessed with lipstick by the time you finish this book. Enjoy!
Entertaining, good beach read
This was the first Claire Cook book that I have read and I really enjoyed it! The story flowed for me and the character of Bella and her new found friend were great! A must read!
Really enjoyed this easy, light-reading summer book! Just a nice distraction to get invloved in this large, complex family. Great beach book.
Funny, quick to read, full of hair/makeup references-This is, as it's cover shows, a perfect beach (or pool) read. Characters are quirky, funny, and believable.
This is a beach read book. It was fun, but.... If anyone layered on the multiple colors of lipstick on a daily basis that the main character does - she would look like a clown.
