Juliette and the Monday Mandates
(2014)(The first book in the Gustafson Girls series)
A novel by Becky Doughty
One brokenhearted girl, three meddling sisters, and an intervention plan called The Monday ManDates....
MEET JULIETTE GUSTAFSON
Juliette, the eldest sister of the Gustafson Girls, is heartbroken after breaking up with her noncommittal boyfriend of almost ten years. Determined she isn't "getting over Mike" quickly enough, her three sisters devise The Monday ManDates; an intervention plan requiring Juliette to endure what turns out to be a series of remarkably disastrous blind dates: TheraPaul, Frisky Frank, TAZ the rock star, and the stoic Tim Larsen, among others. Then there's Victor Jarrett, the police officer with an affinity for pulling Juliette over when she's at her very worst. But no one is more surprised than Juliette when she meets the only one who can right the wrongs in her past and change her future. But will she let herself fall in love with him?
MEET THE GUSTAFSON SISTERS
When Paul and Simone Gustafson are killed by a drunk driver, the lives of the Gustafson girls change irrevocably. Although raised by loving grandparents, it's the G-FOURce-the Gustafson Four Sisters Club-that binds them together when their differences would tear them apart. All grown up now, Juliette has become the quintessential doormat, Renata, the self-appointed matriarchal figure. Phoebe is-according to Renata-borderline narcissistic, and Georgia is on the verge of a major identity crisis.
Then there's Angela Clinton, the senior class darling who drove her cherry black 1970 el Camino into the side of their parents' car on the night of Juliette's high school graduation, leaving the girls orphans. Angela's prison sentence is winding down; soon she'll be eligible for parole and moving back to town. Will the G-FOURce be strong enough to hold the sisters together as they step into the eye of the storm that's been brewing for the last fifteen years? Will they finally be able to let go of the past and embrace the future, no matter what it holds?
Note: The Gustafson Girls series is Christian Women's Fiction with strong elements of Romance.
Genre: General Fiction
