Brianna Stone has an idyllic life. She lives in a comfortable beach home in Ventura, Calif., with her handsome, loving husband, Douglas, and improbably mature 13-year-old son, Nathan. She loves her part-time job leading coastal bus tours and has a lifelong best friend with whom she can talk about everything while eating brownies on the beach.
Perplexingly, despite her happiness and groundedness, Brianna decides one day, based purely on the comments of an unpleasant acquaintance, that her life might need a makeover. She fears...that her husband is bored and wants a more stylish home and wife.
Brianna and most of the people in her life are Christians, and at the end, Brianna realizes many of her problems stem from having neglected God.
I'll admit that I was caught by the cover of the book, but it was a good story too! Definitely within the confines of chick lit, this story is about Bri Stone and those around her. There's her work-a-holic husband, her surfing teenage son and his friends, the mother-in-law, and her best gal pal Gaby, that she can't resist playing matchmaker for. The story is set in Ventura, California, and yes there is plenty of beach and chocolate inside!
