In the first installment of the Three Girls series, the spotlight is on Ginny.  I really loved this book! The story flowed so well and never lagged and I loved that all of the scenes were so brief. I flew through the book in two days with a full time job and a busy social schedule! The author's voice is great and the writing was simple - it wasn't "fancy" but it got the point across and I felt like I was being told a story by a friend. The dialogue was hilarious at times and I loved the chemistry between Ginny, Jen and Annie. I liked that all three friends were very distinguishable and it was obvious the author put effort into characterization. I also thought the way she dealt with flashbacks worked. I often don't like books that flip between past and present but it worked in this story. And as far as the romantic element was concerned? It turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it to. Will definitely read more of the series - not sure when I will get to it but it is a "when" and not an "if" for sure.  - 5 starsIn the second installment of the Three Girls series, the spotlight is on Jen. Of Jen, Ginny, and Annie, Jen is the most Type A and loves to plan things. Since she's an event planner, it's a good thing. When Jen is asked to assist on the wedding of socialite Kiki Barber, it could mean huge things for her career and she's determined to help throw the wedding of the year. She's also determined to organize Ginny's wedding to Josh. Unfortunately, Jen is working herself into the ground and despite her go-getter nature, things don't go as planned. Will her career dreams be shattered? Will her two best friends have her back or will she lose them too? And what's up with the gorgeous best man sending her mixed messages? I became a huge fan of Schurig after reading Three Girls and a Baby. I love her writing style and her characters were so much fun and so real. I loved Ginny so much and feared that I wouldn't like Part 2 as much. I was wrong. I absolutely loved this book. And call me fickle, but I think I might like Jen even more than Ginny! The romance in this one was cute and although I think the relationship conflict could have been stronger, I devoured this book and highly recommend. 5 starsIn this third installment of the Three Girls series, the spotlight is on Annie. Now that both of her besties (Jen and Ginnie) are settled into relationships, Annie is the only single one. An aspiring actress, being single never bothered Annie before. In fact, she preferred to keep her relationships with men casual unlike her more sappy buddies. We find out in this installment that it's really fear that is holding Annie back from falling in love. Watching her mother lose herself after her father left them resulted in Annie vowing to never give a man power over her happiness. But will Nate, the fling from Las Vegas who won't go away, be strong enough to break down her walls? I am a big fan of Rachel Schurig. Her writing is seamless and she manages to combine humor and serious issues into her stories in such a way that I find myself laughing and choking up constantly. This book was no exception. Although it was my least favorite of the series because Annie wasn't always very likeable, I would still recommend this novel to all fans of chick lit.  4 stars
