First, I love the wit and style of this authors writing. It is charming and just down right fun. We start out with Hope moping over Jake; not going out, staying in her Hello Kitty jammies, eating junk food and watching Dirty Dancing (love all the old movie references). Of course her funny, vivacious neighbor Bette and the beautiful dimpled face Darla help her out of her doldrums, and get her out the house for a fun filled girls day. When she gets home, Hope has her first encounter with her sexy, gorgeous new neighbor Raphael. There is instant attraction, and in the midst of this encounter, Jake "drives" by, which of course Bette notices because she doesn't miss a thing (love her!) yet she doesn't tell Hope. Things really start getting interesting, but I don't want to give any more away. But I must say something about my girl Hope; I really like Hope and her quirkiness, her humor, her love of great classic movies and music. But I am really disappointed in the way she is handling this whole thing with Jake and this new "triangle", and something tells me Bette has a thing for Jake so Hope needs to be sure about her choice.Alice, I must say that your style reminds me of another Alice (Clayton) that I love so much, and you both have a great way of injecting the right amount of humor with pop culture, with a subtle campy style that just makes me smile :) Now you have kept me hanging for 2 editions, so please don't make me wait too long to see how this is all going to play out. And by the way, I loved the scene on Hope's front porch with her Mom and the 2 other ladies, lol! Keep up the good work.
