Publisher Description
Abby Morland's been making mischief since she was not-so-sweet sixteen, when she spied gorgeous Guy from the neighborhood being attacked by curvaceous Cara, the "Topless Piranha." It was a racy, tasty, spicy piece of gossip Abby couldn't resist passing along. But years later, her indiscretion may be coming back to haunt her -- since she now wouldn't mind a little nibble of Guy herself. With four cousins, two weddings, and a re-emergent piranha in the offing, the recipe for making more mischief is at hand, and it might just turn Guy in Abby's direction at last!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It is apparent from the start of this novel that the witty Abby Morland, a 30-something Londoner with an extended family that views her as an island of emotional stability, deserves to end up with the dashing Guy, but Young ] forces us to plod through pages of clich dialogue and verbose inner monologues before Abby finally snags the bloke. With a cast that could fill a school bus, this book draws on a teenage dalliance to serve up a conflict of suspicion and gossip that will push Guy out of the gorgeous arms of Abby's cousin Fleur and into Abby's own deserving but not so gorgeous arms. Peppering this tale is an evil aunt (Fleur's mom), who thinks Abby is out to steal Guy just as Abby's mom once stole her own boyfriend, an abrupt wedding between Abby's brother and his pregnant socialite girlfriend, and an accident at the Barbados wedding that provides Abby a chance to be alone with Guy. Serving as a diversion from the predictable coupling of Guy and Abby is the intricate family subplot that shows Abby as the intermediary between her fiery older brother and her delicate mother, and a woman more than worthy of handsome Guy.
