First book I have read by Jennifer Greene and now I am searching around to collect them all! Time for me to catch up!
The characters are funny, human, and loveable. It might be a little too rushed in the very beginning of the book but Ms. Greene makes up for it shortly into the story.
Lucy is a Plain Jane kind of girl. She is nerdy smart and she is devoted to her job as a researcher/ "scientist" for a family owned chocolate company. After discovering the new "it" chocolate from one of her experiments, she makes a pass at her boss, Nick. Boy does she succeed! 7 weeks later, Lucy is preggers and she finds out right when her quiet little world is falling apart. Her dad has been kicked out by her mom and is now living with her. Her young cousin is convinced he might be Gay but is to loopy about it to do anything other than hide out at Lucy's while he figures "it out". Add the adorable but VERY single Nick, his hard nosed but tender hearted Father, an adorable niece, a wacky best friend (she is the subject of book 2) - and you have a great book with lots of laughs and love.
I know it sounds like there are a lot of characters. That could overwhelm the story of the main characters but it doesn't. Greene knows how to add their voices and presence without them taking over the storyline. They are in the book for nothing more than really fun window dressings. This book is very good. Going to read "Blame it on Cupid" next~
