"This book is an easy summer read. Bella is a lipstick-addicted makeup artist and stylist who is divorced and has sworn away men. Then she meets Sean Ryan and things turn out a little differently. Along the way, she has many entanglements with a large, loving family. The escapades of Bella and her family, set in small town Massachusetts, make for an enjoyable story. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a fun, happy, easy read. ~Megan

Summer Blowout by Claire Cook "Cook updates the themes of love and disenchantment that drove "Lifes a Beach" and "Must Love Dogs" in her latest beacher. Bella Shaughnessy, a makeup artist whose solace in times of hardship is finding just the right lipstick to match her mood, gets a divorce and quits men after discovering that her husband of 10 years has been seeing her younger half-sister, Sophia. During a wedding job, she gets stuck with dog-sitting Precious (who looked kind of like a flying squirrel) and quickly gets so attached that she takes drastic measures to keep the dog. Can other kinds of attachment be far behind, as cute and easygoing Sean Ryan enters the picture? Sufficient comedy and romance keep readers entertained until the last page." ~Publisher Weekly
