Two strangers meet on the internet and fall in love. A cute love story told mostly through "tweets". Fun and quick to read.
4 stars as chick-lit.
3 stars as fiction.

Book #7 in 2012
Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson.
Struck with amnesia after a traumatic brain injury, Christine wakes up every morning not knowing anything about her life. As she begins work with a new doctor, she begins to doubt everything she learns about herself each day. Told only from Christine's point of view, the reader is left to wonder how much of what she says is true, and how much is "imagined" memories.
Strong 4 stars.

Book #6 in 2012
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.
After a bump on the head, Alice finds she has no memory of the last ten years of her life. She can't understand why she's getting divorced from the husband she loves, can't remember her three young children and wonders how her relationship with her sister became so distant.
I really enjoyed the entire middle of this book. It took me a few chapters to sort out the different points of view and I didn't love the epilogue, but mostly it was very enjoyable.
4 stars.

Book #5 in 2012
What's Your Number? by Karyn Bosnak.
Delightfully, funny story of Delilah Darling, an almost 30 single woman in New York City who decides to track down her old boyfriends and see if one of them might have been "the one". Just a fun, fun read.
4.5 stars.

Book #4 in 2012
The Cat Sitter's Pajamas by Blaize Clement.
A Dixie Hemingway mystery.
Cute enough story about a pet sitter who finds and intruder and a dead body in a client's home. Will never be mistaken for fine literature, but most stories won't be either.
3.5 stars.

Book # 3 in 2012
Spells & Stitches by Barbara Bretton.
I believe this is third in the series which follows Chloe, a sorceress and the town of Sugar Maple which is composed entirely of other worldly beings - ghosts, trolls, fae, fairies, etc.
Good book for what it is.
3.5 stars.
ETA: Snooping around Amazon shows I may have missed book 3 and this is actually book 4 in the series.

Book #2 in 2012
The Gap Year by Sarah Bird.
Excellent novel about a single mom and her daughter, who despite all of mom's pushing, decides not to attend college immediately after high school. There is much more to the story, too. I like the way the story goes back and forth between the present and the daughter's last year of high school. The different fonts make it easy to detect when the jump occurs.
A hearty 4 stars.
Really close to making 4.5 stars. Not sure if I'd call this "chick-lit" or not.
