"This sparkling novel about two sisters is both witty and stylish. Even if you don't have a sister of your own, you won't be able to resist LaZebnik's charming take on modern relationships. Read it!" - Holly Peterson, bestselling author of The Manny When Ava Nickerson was a child, her mother jokingly betrothed her to a friend's son, and the contract the parents made has stayed safely buried for years. Now that still-single Ava is closing in on thirty, no one even remembers she was once "engaged" to the Markowitz boy. But when their mother is diagnosed with cancer, Ava's prodigal little sister Lauren comes home to Los Angeles where she stumbles across the decades-old document. Frustrated and embarrassed by Ava's constant lectures about financial responsibility (all because she's in a little debt. Okay, a lot of debt), Lauren decides to do some sisterly interfering of her own and tracks down her sister's childhood fianc. When she finds him, the highly inappropriate, twice-divorced, but incredibly charming Russell Markowitz is all too happy to re-enter the Nickerson sisters' lives, and always-accountable Ava is forced to consider just how binding a contract really is . . .

Fun, light and sexy — needed this for a change of pace. It has been great to have that urgent must-read feeling and not have to judge nor discern or admire or wonder what is going on.
This is not a perfect book and I could ask a bunch of questions and express a few, “um what about _?” And some yeabuts, what happened with _?, this&thats. Whatever

I enjoyed it and let‘s move on, shall we?

Ruthiella I know what you mean. Reading just for fun is freeing. 3y

I picked this up for about 50 cents from the sale cart at the library, because I've always been a sucker for sister stories (possibly b/c I'm one of three girls and I myself have three daughters). I was pleasantly surprised - it was an engaging read that was pleasantly light with some surprising twists and characters that were multi-dimensional.
