I find a lot of value in your books. Do you have a list of other time management books that you also recommend?

Thanks,

Angela

I wanted to clarify the plot description as KJ incorrectly stated some key elements. The story is about a romance author and a literary fiction writer, who knew each other in college, and find themselves living next door to each other. They are each suffering writer’s block so challenge each other to WRITE in their genre (ie the romance writer will pen a literary fiction novel and the literary fiction author will write a romance). KJ stated they would spend the summer READING in the other’s genre. This is a contemporary, open door romance with well-developed characters and clever references to other books.

I’d also second her recommendation of Happy & You Know It. I found this to be a fast paced look at society moms and the musician they hire for play group. It’s a bit of a coming of age story with a good twist at the end. It’s also told from multiple viewpoints, which some people like and some people don’t.
