Before that, he was in an 18 month relationship, so he’s used to being committed. He’s been in a relationship with Stephanie, his now ex, for the past four years. Established, smart and dedicated to relationships and the hope of living happily ever after, Chad is just an all around nice guy.

I quickly recommended this book to several people, and I recommend to you as well!Ĭhick Lit Review Book Review: Hunting With Lawn Darts by Geoffrey McKeelĬhad Jordan is a thirtysomething guy who finds himself having to start over in the world of dating. Great ending, though I thought it was pretty easy to figure out, but still a great book overall. I learned a lot about a topic I didn’t know much about, but the storyline on all fronts was really strong. It was like reading a history lesson as well as a good book. There’s a lot going on in the story – Annie’s personal life, the mystery of the past, the baby farmer twist. I love a good old mystery that comes with a past, and The Ghost of Lily Painter kept me up in the night as I couldn’t put it down.

Until Annie solves the mystery at the heart of the scandal, the ghost of Lily Painter will never be able to rest. As Annie delves further into Lily’s past she discovers a dark episode of two notorious baby farmers. Soon she becomes consumed by the house and everyone who has lived there before her, especially a young chorus girl called Lily Painter. She longs to move in, but with her husband increasingly distant, and her daughter wrapped up in her friends, Annie is left alone to mull over the past. The first time Annie Sweet sees 43 Stanley Road, the Victorian house is so perfect she almost feels as though it has chosen her. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
