The Dr Pepper Prophecies
by Jennifer Gilby Roberts
Mel is a twenty-five-year-old underachiever with a terrible job, too much time on her hands and a perfect younger sister. Her work and love lives hit a new low when she ends up working for her ex. The one good thing in her life has always been her best friend Will, who has seen her through every crisis from lost toys to pregnancy scares. Now a successful accountant, he looks a prime catch to his girlfriend Natalie, who's determined to replace Mel as the woman in his life. Despairing of improving her own life, she sets out to help her friends instead.After all, what’s the worst that can happen?A contemporary romantic comedy (chick lit) based loosely on Jane Austen's 'Emma'. Similar in style to works by Sophie Kinsella, Meg Cabot and Julia Quinn. Perfect beach reading. Enjoy!
