Finola. Zennie, and Ali are three sisters who are having a very bad week. Finola, a local television host, finds out that her husband is having an affair with a hot pop star. Ali's fiance calls off their wedding and he doesn't even have the guts to do it himself, he sends his brother instead. Zennie has gone out on a few dates with Clark. She doesn't feel any great sparks with him, but it still stings when he breaks it off. The three sisters are faced with hard choices and disapproving parents. Their mother is preparing the family home to sell and wants nothing more than to have a grandchild. Their father is off on a boat with his second wife somewhere in the Caribbean, but he too, thinks the sisters are screwing up their lives. Will the three sisters be able to get over their heartache and find happiness?
I was in the mood for something light and California Girls certainly met the need. I liked all three sisters, but I think Ali was my favorite. I liked how somebody (trying to not give spoilers) stepped in to help her after he called off their wedding. I think their story was my favorite. Next up for me was Zennie. She agreed to help her friends in the most selfless way possible. Yet everybody, including her parents, gave her so much grief over her decision. I really struggled with their parents. More than once I thought how selfish they were behaving and treated their daughters in an atrocious manner. Whatever happened to unconditional love and support? You don't ask your daughter "what did you do" when her husband cheats on her. It doesn't matter if she marched around the house in an Easter bunny outfit night and day. There is no excuse for a husband to cheat on his wife. In the end, things worked out the way they were supposed to work out. In quite predictable fashion.
Bottom Line - I was looking for a light, easy read and I found it with Susan Mallery's California Girls. An easy read to pass away a Sunday afternoon.
