Readers first met the irrepressible Waverly Bryson in Perfect on Paper, and now the woman dubbed by fans “the American Bridget Jones” is back in a sequel packed with friendship, heartache, and romance.
The formerly heartbroken singleton is now happily enmeshed in a new relationship, a new job, and a new decade. Her career as an advice columnist is taking off, and the future of her fledgling greeting-card line is bright. Of course, where Waverly goes, drama is sure to follow, and this time is no exception. Her broken engagement has left her gun-shy when it comes to love, putting strain on her long-distance relationship with handsome Jake McIntyre. And when her best friends both make life-changing announcements, Waverly fears she is being left behind by the ones she loves most.
In true Waverly fashion, things must get comically worse before they can get better. But in the end, she discovers that though life (before and after thirty) may be messy and unpredictable, friendship and love make it all worthwhile.

"So cute! Great sequel to Perfect on Paper- not quite as funny. I loved being back into their world and I love Waverly. It's nice to have a train wreck character who isn't a complete idiot. She has some moments but it feels more realistic than some other books. Still love all the characters and it's been fun watching Waverly start to grow up. Also it makes me want to move to 'San Fran'--haa!"

— Loriinengland, 2/13/2014" Very easy read and sounds like a romantic comedy on page. Cute is best way to describe it. "

— Christina, 12/27/2013" It was a cute follow up to Perfect on Paper. "
— Tessa, 12/16/2013" Just couldn't relate to the main character. Seemed too predictable, successful girl meets rich handsome nearly perfect man, all smells of roses. "
— Shana, 12/6/2013" I love this book! I want Waverly as my best friend. It's hilarious, touching, and very "real." Not the typical chick lit. I think many readers can relate to Waverly and the trickiness of navigating new romance, a new career path, family and friendship. I hope there is a sequel to this sequel! "
— Angela, 12/1/2013" Loved this read. I found it to be just as good and/or even better than Perfect on Paper. I can not wait until July for Honey on Your Mind to be released. "
— Elisa, 11/20/2013" Read- "It's a Waverly Life" it's well written, has plenty of purpose and is fun! "
— John, 11/18/2013" Very cute enjoyable read. "
— Denise, 9/13/2013" Terrible female protagonist. "
— Erin, 9/9/2013" I do love the main characater in this book. It is a VERY frivolous and quick read....good summer reading. I downloaded on my Kindle and the price was right too, for $4 you certainly get that out of it! "
— Nikki, 8/18/2013" Not as funny as the first and parts were frustrating to read, but overall a cute book. "

— Alicia, 5/3/2013" very funny in many parts!! "
— Karen, 3/2/2013" This was a great book, very funny, heartwarming, heart tugging, easy read. I love the Waverly character as well as all the other key characters. I can't wait for the next book in the series due out in July. Hope to have it for the summer trip, will be a good book for the beach! "
— Renee, 1/21/2013" An American Bridget Jones...cute book "
— Kelli, 1/6/2013" Waverly got me through my head cold! I love her! In all seriousness--she is a totally funny character--well-written to be so funny and vulnerable--the one point in the book where she hides behind a tree to see Jake--it just breaks my heart! Highly recommend! "
— Kathleen, 12/30/2012" Fun light read. :) "
