I really liked this one. Especially since it was set in DC and Rehoboth!! I love it when the books I read talk place in places I know. Although I was a bit annoyed when she said she was on the BW Parkway to get to the beach - that isn't the road she should have been on... but oh well. :)
I definitely recommend this one - it's cute chick lit with lots of interesting characters.
Here's a review from B&N:
Though she's methodically navigated 36 years by making lists and plans, D.C. resident Prudence Whistler's carefully constructed life is about to get shaken up. She's let go from the nonprofit job that never did much to fulfill her in the first place. Then Rudy-who she's finally decided will suffice as "The One"-condescendingly dumps her. But before she has too much time to stew, her loved ones rally 'round: catty, coupled college friends; her younger sister, Patsy, the unmarried mother of a two-year-old; and John Owen, the in-divorce-proceedings diner owner Pru first encounters while schlepping Rudy's television out to the curb. This crew's the catalyst for a series of adventures and lifestyle shakeups that has retail-addict Pru wondering whether her love for fashion could deliver more than the latest Marc Jacobs dress. And then there's the ongoing coffee klatch at John's diner that inspires the big question: is Pru in the market for "getting-each-other-through-a-bad-time-love" with John, or is it time to stick her neck out for "real-love love"? Readers may find Pru's early bad luck streak contrived, but as her lovable friends and neighbors spring into action, the well-written story rounds out and rolls toward a satisfying finish.
