All Eyes on Her (Red Dress Ink Novels)
The author of Girl Most Likely To (2007) tackles life in the Hollywood fast lane in her new novel. Monica Gupta is an ambitious junior associate at the elite Steel law firm, which represents wealthy Hollywood movers and shakers in their divorce proceedings. Her latest clients, superstars Cameron and Lydia, seem on the verge of a breakup, but they’re still in the attempted reconciliation stage, and Monica finds herself being summoned to high-end department stores and commercial sets to deal with Lydia’s breakdowns. Monica’s own love life is in shambles—her fiancé, Raj, isn’t speaking to her, and her ex-boyfriend, a handsome screenwriter, shows up at her office wanting her to handle his divorce—and at work she is grappling with a vicious rival who’s determined to see her fail. Oftentimes in chick lit the resolution is apparent by page 10; it’s not so in Sharma’s second outing. Readers won’t be able to predict how Monica’s happy ending will unfold, which will keep them turning the pages of this charming novel. --Kristine Huntley
