He doesn’t want to let this second chance get away.As her family and friends swarm her with support, Lucy has to deal with the complicated feelings of grieving for a husband who was stepping out on her and a marriage that had fallen apart long before his death. And Duffy has problems of his own—an ex-wife who he’s never been able to stand up to, and who is hell-bent on ruining any chance he’d have with another woman.As Lucy and Duffy navigate the minefield of grown-up relationships, and a second-chance romance, the town and the McCready family steps up to make sure these two won’t miss out again. With Gimme Some Sugar, Molly Harper proves once again that she “writes characters you can’t help but fall in love with,” (Romantic Times).“Hilariously charming. This story has it all.”(Woman’s World)“Classic Harper…oozing snark and Southern charm in every scene!” (Publishers Weekly)“A story of family, friendship, second chances and love!” (The Reading Café)

Girl Logic: The Genius and the Absurdity
by Mayim Bialik Iliza ShlesingerFrom breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships."Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes is as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world. When confronted with critical decisions about dating, sex, work, even getting dressed in the morning, Iliza argues that women will by nature consider every repercussion of every option before making a move toward what they really want. And that kind of holistic thinking can actually give women an advantage in what is still a male world.In Iliza's own words: "Understanding Girl Logic is a way of embracing both our aspirations and our contradictions. GL is the desire to be strong and vulnerable. It's wanting to be curvy, but rail thin at the same time. It's striving to kick ass in a man's world while still being loved by the women around you."This book is also for me, because apparently expounding on a stage for two hours a night wasn't enough. (Trust me, if I could start a cult I would, but I hate the idea of deliberately dying in a group.)"
