GIVEAWAY: 5 copies of The Smart One and The Pretty One by Claire LaZebnik

by

Good morning everyone. I’ve got a giveaway for you all for 5 copies of The Smart One and the Pretty One by Claire LaZebnik courtesy of Miriam with Hachette Book Group. Now I haven’t read this book myself but I have seen many great reviews for this Chick Lit book. Here’s a bit about it from Hachette Book Group…

“This sparkling novel about two sisters is both witty and stylish. Even if you don’t have a sister of your own, you won’t be able to resist LaZebnik’s charming take on modern relationships. Read it!”
– Holly Peterson, bestselling author of The Manny

When Ava Nickerson was a child, her mother jokingly betrothed her to a friend’s son, and the contract the parents made has stayed safely buried for years. Now that still-single Ava is closing in on thirty, no one even remembers she was once “engaged” to the Markowitz boy. But when their mother is diagnosed with cancer, Ava’s prodigal little sister Lauren comes home to Los Angeles where she stumbles across the decades-old document.

Frustrated and embarrassed by Ava’s constant lectures about financial responsibility (all because she’s in a little debt. Okay, a lot of debt), Lauren decides to do some sisterly interfering of her own and tracks down her sister’s childhood fiancé. When she finds him, the highly inappropriate, twice-divorced, but incredibly charming Russell Markowitz is all too happy to re-enter the Nickerson sisters’ lives, and always-accountable Ava is forced to consider just how binding a contract really is . . .

There’s also a reading guide here.
Take a peek at the Claire’s LaZebnik’s website here.
