The California sunshine’s not quite so bright for three sisters who get dumped in the same week…Finola, a popular LA morning-show host, is blindsided on live TV by the news that her husband is sleeping with a young pop sensation who has set their affair to music. While avoiding the tabloids and pretending she’s just fine, she’s crumbling inside, desperate for him to come to his senses. Zennie’s breakup is no big loss—she’d rather be surfing. So agreeing to be the surrogate for her best friend is a no-brainer. After all, she has an available womb and no other attachments to worry about. Except…being pregnant is a lot lonelier—and more complicated—than she imagined. Never the thinnest or prettiest sister, Ali is used to being overlooked, but when her fiancé sends his disapproving brother to call off the wedding, it’s a new low. And yet Daniel continues to turn up “for support," making Ali wonder if maybe—for once—someone sees her in a way no one ever has. Side by side by side, these sisters will rebuild their lives with all the affection, charm and laugh-out-loud humor that is classic Susan Mallery. | California Girls by Susan Mallery, Mass Market Paperback | Indigo Chapters
