This book may have the best " Surpise! You're a Daddy, Douchebag" reveal I have seen in a long time.  Claire Holbrook is a minister's daughter who has come a long way from the teenager in love with Jake Manning and an eating disorder from her difficult and superficial mother.  Her best friend Holly has married Quinn Manning and has just headed for her honeymoon from the perfect wedding.  After all the toasts are drank and a few double scotches, Claire has a one night stand with Jake where she loses her virginity.  She has been so busy building her successful floral business that sleeping around was almost impossible in a small town where her father was a minister.  Jake leaves for a planned business trip and does not call.  He stays for an extra two weeks he does not need to and comes home for a BBQ given by the newlyweds with a slutty blast from Holly and Claire's past hanging off his Harley.  Claire views this from Holly's Kitchen window and goes nuts.  She dumps out her purse, finds a little box and reaches the patio as Quinn hands Jake a burger off the grill onto his bun.  Claire slams the test stick through it and says Surprise, you're a Daddy while his date complains there is pee on that stick.  Claire marches off and all hell breaks loose.Jake further sticks his foot in his mouth by proposing.  Claire shows him her Plan A and Plan B for keeping the baby and he is noticeably absent from both of them.  We find out big secrets about why 35 year old Jake is the way he is and his plans for trying to get Claire to let him in her life to raise his child.  This was a funny and human look at how to forgive and learn to trust again.
