Summary:
Smart, successful Ava Nickerson is closing in on thirty and has barely had a date since law school. When a family crisis brings her prodigal little sister Lauren back to Los Angeles, Lauren stumbles across a forgotten document -- a contract their parents had jokingly drawn up years ago betrothing Ava to their friends' son. Frustrated and embarrassed by Ava's constant lectures about financial responsibility (all because she's in a little debt. Okay, a lot of debt), Lauren decies to do some sisterly interfering of her own and tracks down her sister's childhood fiancé. When she finds him, the highly inappropriate, twice-divorced, but incredibly charming Russell Markowitz is all too happy to reenter the Nickerson sister's lives. And always-accountable Ava will soon realize just how binding a contract can be...

Review:
This book was charmingly smart and funny. The two sisters were easy to relate to and often reminded me of my own relationship with my sisters. This book had a bit of every emotion in it -- love, hate, anger, pitty, resentment, insecurity, you name it. It is definitely worth your time if you like modern romance novels. I would love to see this one turned into a movie, too!
