A review by oddandbookish
California Girls by Susan Mallery
4.0
I received this book for free from TLC Book Tours as part of a review tour.
This was my first time reading a book by Susan Mallery and I enjoyed it.
This book was a classic chick lit novel.
I loved the dynamic between the sisters. That felt very real and organic. The sisters did have their differences but were still able to come together when it mattered.
I also loved how each of their stories were different. Even though they all had the commonality of getting dumped at the same time, they all went down different paths. I thought that was really important to show because everyone is different and deals with things in their own way.
The one thing I didn’t like was how some of the situations that the characters found themselves in weren’t that realistic. For example, the way Finola found out about her husband’s affair (her husband told her right before she went on air, plus the mistress was the pop star she had to interview, who also confronted her about the affair). But this is a chick lit novel so I can look past that. Part of the fun of reading chick lit is the over the top scenarios that happen.
Overall, this was a solid chick lit book perfect for reading while sunbathing in the warm California sun.
