Suzie finally gets her story. It is obvious to everyone that she and her pal Grayson are sparking off each other in a more than just friend’s kinda way. She refuses to see it even as she slowly lets him into the most secret parts of her life. She has reached a crossroads, it is time for her to move on and start living the life she wants, but she doesn’t think she is ready. Meanwhile, Grayson is dealing with some life-altering issues of his own, and he isn’t sharing. Red flag. Bull. Suzie isn’t going to leave it alone, and it could jeopardize their friendship.

To be perfectly clear, I have been waiting for Suzie’s story since the series started. I was even a little bit jealous of Phoebe because she got to go next, while I was, apparently not-so-patiently, waiting for Suzie. She is the heart of the group, everyone’s loveable, but annoying baby sister. Her klutzy antics are the perfect foil for tension and her straight to the point questions and observations may be occasionally off-putting and crass, but she does have a knack for doing an end-round, breaking through tough exteriors into the soft gooey centers of her friends. Even before this book, it was obvious that she was being ridiculously stubborn about her no man policy and I am so glad to see her adopted family ganging up on her to move past her ex and his legacy. Grayson is just perfect for Suzie, even she can see it in those moments when she totally honest with herself

Speaking of adopted family… I am unashamedly fascinated by the constant pranking of the irascible uncles. I am so glad that Suzie feels the same way so I don’t have to beg to get an uncle’s only story. Then again, imagine, a day in the life at McGraw’s Pub… Seriously, imagine it, pretty please? Of course, the real question is who gets to walk Phoebe down the aisle. I am pretty sure I know who, but it will fun to watch it play out. The one-upmanship is awesome.

Another great romantic comedy read by D.E. Haggerty. This book can easily be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed as part of the series. I can’t wait for Faith’s story, next up for this series. ( )
