Shandi Pearson has enough on her plate with college, divorced parents, and her three year old son Nathan. Nathan (Natty) is her everything and considering the way he came about, she really is not looking for a man in her life.. too much… everything.
But as well all know, life never turns out quite the way we plan and suddenly Shandi is finding herself and Natty in a gas station stick up. As if that wasn’t enough to call it a day – there’s the guy who stepped between Natty and the gunman that for some reason, Shandi can not get out of her mind. But the man who Shandi can not stop thinking about comes with his own set of issues opportunities and they certainly do not involve a relationship.
Of course, as I said, life never turns out quite the way we plan…
If you have not read Joshilyn Jackson you need to stop everything and pick up any of her books. Yes any of them. They are southern fun on a stick and so witty good you will be sorry you waited so long to read her. I have listened to everything Joshilyn has written on audio, except this one. This one I read. It was just as delightful as her others. Shandi makes a typical southern protagonist as Joshilyn likes to use in her books, funny and silly but whip smart when it gets right down to taking care of those she cares about.
Seriously treat yourself to Someone Else’s Love Story… you need to get on this level.
I loved this one, too, as well as everything else I’ve read by this author. She is a relatively new discovery for me, having first read The Girl Who Stopped Swimming…and then continued from there, immersing myself in several others.
She is an amazing writer!
I plan to read this one this year, so many of the bloggers have liked it.
I hope you do!
I have loved all of her books and am hearing so much about this one, will have to track down a copy!
Oh good!
I’ve read only good things about this author and her books. Will have to try her.
Yes, I bet you would like her Laura.
I didn’t love her the first time I tried her, but I should try again one of these days.
I would be interested which one you read 🙂 Also, do you do audio? I love the narration of her books!
I love Joshilyn Jackson! And adored this one. It was a departure from her normal lighter books but wonderful!
Right!
Can’t wait to see what she writes next!
This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved it.
Awesome – you are in for a treat with the other ones as well.
This book was amazing…I read it months and months ago and still think about it…I loved the ending!
I read it a while back too just never got the review up 🙂
I’ll have to read Joshilyn Jackson. Thanks for the recommendation!

I love Joshilyn and this is my favorite of all of her books!
It was a fun read.
Thanks for your review. This one is on my shelf – can’t wait to read it!
You will love it!
I’ve had this one my list since BEA. I may have to find a copy although I didn’t really like The Girl who Stopped Swimming. I only gave it two stars.

Wow, thanks. What’s your email again?
