Summer Blowout

Claire Cook, . . Hyperion/Voice, $23.95 (242pp) ISBN 978-1-4013-2241-0

Cook updates the themes of love and disenchantment that drove Life’s a Beach and Must Love Dogs in her latest beacher. Bella Shaughnessy, a makeup artist whose solace in times of hardship is finding just the right lipstick to match her mood, gets a divorce and quits men after discovering that her husband of 10 years has been seeing her younger half-sister, Sophia. During a wedding job, she gets stuck with dog-sitting Precious (who “looked kind of like a flying squirrel”) and quickly gets so attached that she takes drastic measures to keep the dog. Can other kinds of attachment be far behind, as cute and easygoing Sean Ryan enters the picture? Sufficient comedy and romance keep readers entertained until the last page. (June)
