When she inherited her great aunt’s beautiful house, Lola had no idea that a neighborhood of meddlers came along with it. While she’s a very sociable girl, she has no intentions of participating in town watch meetings or planning block parties. But as those very neighbors begin to help Lola piece together clues to the town mystery, as well as her own life, she finds that her friend’s quip that it’s nice to have someone looking out for you is very true…
Lola is on the cusp of her 30th birthday, a fact that—considering she has great friends, a great house, and a great job—does not bother her in the least. But when her little (outgoing, popular, conniving) sister announces that she’s getting married on that very date, Lola knows that this is one scheme that she’s not going to let her sister get away with.
Lola’s BFF Piper hatches a scheme of their own; they will retaliate against her sister and reclaim the stolen birthday with an announcement of Lola’s engagement! With the perfect guy all-too-happy to play along, things begin to fall into place—but only while the rest of Lola’s life gets thrown up in the air, with everyone else controlling where the pieces land. The story of how, where, and in what order, they land, will easily amuse you.
