Lelaina is trying to make it in LA, but first she has to make it through her trip home... Aspiring screenwriter Lelaina Zane finally lands a Hollywood break, but it's cut short when her dad has a heart attack and she has to return to her home town. Leaving LA for the first time in three years, she returns home to be with her family. And now that she's back, her parents want her to stay and join the family law firm. After three years of unsuccessfully trying to 'make it' in Hollywood, she thinks they might be right. But soon after settling into her new life, Hollywood calls with a potential offer. Lelaina has to decide if she'll stay for her ailing father and the promise of a successful life, or return to LA to pursue what she's always wanted. Torn between her two choices, the decision becomes even harder when her cheating ex -- her first love, first kiss and first... you know -- reappears with apologies and a proposition.

I LOVE this book! It's super funny! Kind of a cross between Bridget Jones and Janet Evanovich. A great read!

I don't often laugh out loud when reading a book, but I have to admit this was a total 'laugh out loud' kind of book. I started reading it at work when the book arrived from Amazon - couldn't put it down, and was reading under my desk hoping no one would notice. Of course, the fact I was laughing out loud was a bit of a giveaway. Totally recommend if you're looking for something fun and clever. I hope there are more escapades to come

This is a perfect chick-lit kind of book: funny (DEAD funny), intelligent, and with a heroine you want to see succeed. Lelaina's struggles are totally identifiable. Whether you're trying to break into the arts industry or struggling to make it as a doctor, you will see yourself in her mishaps, and success. She's a good person, trying to do what's best for herself and those around her--in short, she's Every Woman.
Jax writes with wit, style, and you won't regret buying this book.
