A few months ago, I picked up a book called Knitting Under the Influence, written by Claire LaZebnik.

I loved it.

So when I heard that LaZebnik had another book out in September, I jumped at the chance to review it.

I was not disappointed.

I have no sisters, so I don’t have that personal experience to link me to the characters in this book.

But never mind that.

Ava and Lauren Nickerson are as polar opposite as two sisters could be.

Ava: the big sister, studious, plain, no-nonsense lawyer, hasn’t had a date in years

Lauren: younger, flighty, clothes-obsessed, in debt to her eyeballs, attracts men like moths to flame

This combination is bound to cause problems.

And it does, for Ava. A long ago letter between their mother and an old friend, is found by Lauren, who makes it her mission to reunite her sister with the guy she hasn’t seen since childhood.

Ava is not a willing participant in her sister’s scheme.

Or is she?

This book is light, funny and will suck you in with the first chapter. Ms. LaZebnik is a wonderful writer who does a great job of making the characters both believable and lovable.

I wonder if she will come out with a sequel?

When not writing for BD, Antonette can be found Mama Writing So I Don’t Go Crazy or reviewing books from her huge TBR pile at Books In Every Room. She’d love to have you visit!
