Great start to a new series about 5 friends.  They've been friends since college.  Now they are all grown up and single again.  They have standing plans every Friday involving great food, friends, atmosphere, and several pitchers of martinis.  This book focuses in on one of the women from the martini sisterhood, as they've come to think of themselves.  And now a bit about the story...Zip is the cautious one, an accountant by trade.  She is practical and always has a plan.  She has sworn off men she works with after her last fiasco.  Being the first to arrive at Coveted, the local bar the sisters go to each week, she is in their booth pretending to read her romance novel while the whole time she is watching Tony, the sexy bartender.  That night all the girls are able to make it -- Veronica, the lawyer, Lucy, the doctor, Kaley, an artist, and Jem, who is in advertising.  Jem brought about her latest assignment, remarketing the Magic 8 Ball.  After many rounds of drinks, Zip (who never had the toy growing up) asks a few questions and between the ball, her friends, and liquid courage, she faces her fears and asks Tony out.  Great ready for a whirlwind!! Can't wait for the next one....Favorite passages:- "I swear your mother makes cardboard seem interesting."- Accountant.  If his accounting teacher had been half as interesting to him, he'd have enjoyed the class a hell of a lot more.- After giving him an hour to feel sorry for himself, she kicked him square in the ass to do something about it.  She'd acted the part of confidant, best friend, and drill sergeant all rolled into one.
