I loved this book!  Ms. Thompson successfully wrote mature characters with real lives and real problems.  It was quite refreshing to read about a 30-something single mom facing life after divorce.  Katrine MacNamara is a relatable character that you want to have as your friend.  Speaking of friends, O.M.G....the scenes where Katrine is having girl time with her group of friends (yes, even Tristan, her male hairdresser) are hands down the funniest I've read.  I laughed out loud many times while reading this book!  Without giving any spoilers, I'll just say be on the lookout for rotisserie chicken, Summer's Eve, pliers vs. male parts and umm....female "toy" references!  Katrine's "inter-cranial" conversations are a hoot, too!  What about the male lead, you ask?  Enter Xander Abbot, Mr. Hate him/love him/hate him again, rich hottie himself!  He's definitely the guy who triggers some red flags, but he's kind of irresistible!  There were a couple of important scenes that as I read I thought happened rather quickly, and I would have preferred more time given to them.  However, looking back on the story now, I think the quickness of those scenes contributed to the realness of the story, and for that I appreciate them.  Rebound is the kind of book you choose for your book club, read while sipping on your favorite glass of wine and discuss with your friends while laughing your behinds off!  Oh, and the ending?  Two words.  Subtle brilliance.  I am definitely a fan, Ms. Thompson, and am eagerly anticipating your next book!
