Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer Close

Girls in White Dresses by Jennifer Close

Need a little chick lit in your life?  Want to read something light, short and sweet?  Try this collection of stories following a group of friends through their twenties and into their thirties. 

We learn about them: their struggles through imperfect and perfect men.  How Lauren is convinced she got dumped because she told her boyfriend that in middle school she thought ham came from hams…weird looking oblong creatures.  Their struggles with jobs they hate but are good at, and jobs they think they should love, but don’t.  We also learn about their friends: Ellen who only dates ugly boys and Kristi who after five bridal showers will probably no longer be their friend after the wedding because they won’t be able to afford the baby showers when she starts having kids.

Set in New York City, with appropriate accents, this was an enjoyable listen.  Perfect for short car rides!
