SHE'S ALL THAT

Brooke Sanford's youthful and exuberant performance makes this chick-lit novel for the Christian fiction audience an entertaining story from beginning to end. There's plenty of humor and a dash of suspense as up-and-coming fashion designer Lilly Jacobs breaks away from her job as an assistant to launch her own design company. She has two best friends, Dr. Poppy Clayton and jewelry heiress Morgan Malliard. They call themselves "the Spa Girls" (for their frequent excursions to get facials) and help each other through love and life. Sanford enhances Billberbeck's snappy dialogue with her own flair for drama as Lilly whines about unruly hair being the source of all of her problems.
