**** 4 stars
Dana Rose has lost her bridesmaiding, punch drinking mind when her best friend and roommate weds her ex-boyfriend. It's not the ex that's driving her mad. It's her past regrets-not opening her dream business, not wedding her dream man, not getting to her dream weight, and not having the love she thinks she deserves from her family--all the things that she thinks she needs to believe that she is worthy and favored--that haunts her. She seeks solace in her Sassy Sistahood email chat group, who seek solace in her and eventually help her see that God has favor of her and has made her of the highest honor.
Mary's Dana Rose is as funny and quirky as any woman's best-friend. She's the girl-next-door, big sister, and some of our biggest insecurities all wrapped up in less than 300 pages. And most importantly she is everything good others see in us, but we can't see in ourselves.
This Steeple Hill Cafe release isn't a sappy, sweet, fru fru Austen remake, but a comedic and cute dose of inspirational comfort for a more mature romance reading audience. Although the plot was predictable in spots, Griffith's way of words and her larger than life-Dana Rose makes this novel a page-turning good time(Dec. 2005, 292 p, $12.95.)
