Ain't She Sweet? by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
5.0

My all time favorite contemporary romance novel. Susan Elizabeth Phillips knows how to write fun quirky romcoms but I think this one is her best.

How she weaves a romance between two very unlikely characters is genius. Sugar Beth was a high school queen bee and mean girl. Colin was a young Irish immigrant eager to live the Southern life and write his novels. When they meet 15 years later, there's a reckoning.

The characters are all alive and vibrant, especially Sugar Beth who at first seemed irredeemable.

This book also caused me to be very curious about Georgette Heyer novels and now she's one of my favorite authors too! SEP and GH truly understand romance that women seek, REAL romance between two mature and understanding people
