About this item
Jane Austens Emma made a habit of meddling in other peoples lives, but Melanie Abbott has turned it into a cottage industry. As "modern American royalty" living in Abbotts Bay, Massachusetts, a town founded by her ancestor, Melanie Abbott feels its her right - even her duty - to employ her uncanny knack for knowing exactly what everyone needs to improve their lives. She eagerly shares her wisdom and insight with her friends and neighbors . . . whether they ask for it or not. If only Conn Garvey, her dearest friend, agreed with her. Connacht Garvey has been keeping an eye on Melanie since they were kids. A bit older, far more level-headed, and infinitely patient, Conn feels its his duty to pull Melanie back from whatever cliffs edge shes about to wander off. Conn thinks Melanie is egotistical, self-centered, irritating, infuriating, relentless, ridiculous . . . and irresistible. Not that Conns confessed to that last one. Yet. When Melanie impulsively starts up a new advice-giving business, its an instant hit. Conn doesnt approve, as usual, which is too bad, because Melanies convinced he needs her VIP package. (Of advice!) His coffeehouse is showing signs of financial trouble, plus his toxic ex is suddenly sniffing around, acting like shes having second thoughts about their breakup. Will their friendship be blown to bits because of Melanies meddling . . . or will it become something more? What critics are saying about Jayne Denkers books: "Love the story!
