New Uses for Old Boyfriends by Beth Kendrick
4.0
I wanted to check out Beth Kendrick's New Uses for Old Boyfriends because the title piqued my interest, and I wondered how the cover fit with it. And I quite enjoyed the story, especially the relationship between Lila and her mother. Change is hard, but a good attitude about it can definitely make it easier to handle.
Not that Lila (or her mother) had much good attitude - at least in the beginning...
This is a story about relationships, set in a small town. I loved the interactions between mother and daughter, society's matriarchs, Lila and her high school first love, and Lila's with her new friends. It was light-hearted and fun, even through the hard get-over-it and starting-over stuff that both Lila and her mother have to face. And I loved that there's a Marine with mad sewing skillz and drool-worthy abs making an appearance. The covert assignations made me giggle!
New Uses for Old Boyfriends is a good one to sit down with a cuppa on a cold weekend afternoon. (There's still plenty of that here!) And I know there are those of you who will definitely enjoy (and maybe even drool over) all the couture strewn throughout. So what's there to do but pick this up? :)
