The Reluctant Heiress by Eva Ibbotson

At the time that I saw this on the shelves of my second-hand book store, I had only read one of Eva Ibbotson's books; A Countess Below Stairs. I thought to myself, if this is anything like the other one, I'm going to adore it. but it took me three months to find the time to read it. And, I was not disappointed.

Ibbotson truly knows the landscape and history of Vienna in the early twentieth century. With grace and poise, she sets out a plot thick with romance, social standing, and music. But what surprised me the most was her ability to create a delicate history for a family that it seems like they really existed.

He has wealth, she has titles. Tessa and Guy are a match made in heaven. Literally, they were born under the same astrological sign.

Something Blue by Emily Giffin

My first thought when I found out that Emily Giffin had wrote a sequel to Something Borrowed was one of extreme happiness. My first thought when I found out that the sequel was told by Darcy was one of extreme anger.

Seriously? Darcy's a controlling, help me, I deserve everything, B**ch. Why on earth would I want read a book narrated by her?

But, being the diplomatic reader I am, I got it from my local library (There was no way I was going to buy that!)

I soon realized that there was something seriously wrong with Darcy. She wasn't nice, but she wasn't who I thought she was. She has some sort of need to be pampered, but she recognized that there are other people who need her, more than she needs them. At least, she figured it out by the end of the book...

Forget About It by Caprice Crane

Jordan Landau is a slight pushover.

Wait, there's nothing slight about it. She IS a pushover.

But when Jordan gets hit by a car, everyone thinks she has amnesia. Well, even though she doesn't, she doesn't feel like correcting them. And neither does her best friend, who happens to be in love with her.

And so begins the life of the new and improved Jordan Landau!

She no longer lets her cheating boyfriend get whatever he wants out of her. (Honestly, he wants her to have a three way!) She no longer lets her mother and half sister walk all over her. (The twins as she calls them, love to make her feel bad.) She no longer lets her boss take all the credit for everything she does. (Well, everyone hates their boss, right?)

But what happens when she really does forget?

She's not...

Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Brashares comes the welcome return of the characters whose friendship became a touchstone for a generation. Now Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget have grown up, starting their lives on their own. And though the jeans they shared are long gone, the sisterhood is everlasting.

Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn’t take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can’t seem to shed her old restlessness.

Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever—but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.

As moving and life-changing as an encounter with long-lost best friends, Sisterhood Everlasting is a powerful story about growing up, losing your way, and finding the courage to create a new one.
