Four Shy Girls, Four Big Dreams, One Awesome City:
Book 1 in the Shy-Town Girls Quartet Series
This is one of the a few ARC’s I got back in December and now that it is out, so is the review. This will be part of a four book series, each book will be written in one of the characters point of view. This book was a very refreshing change. The beginning is centered on Roberta Bertucci, aka Bobbie a modeling agent. She is in a long term relationship with Charlie, a model she met through work. Charlie is somewhat of a character. Charlie thinks that his looks will do all the work and he can just act like an arrogant fool. So Bobbie decides she is moving out and her old college friend Meryl is providing a new home and a change in lifestyle for her.
We get to know four very different woman who are at different stages of their lives, but manage to become woven tight. At 24 Bobbie is on her own and taking a chance. The other room mates Ella, Ivy and the landlady Barbara provide just the therapy she needs. When she is down, she now has wisdom to pick her up from Barbara. Barbara has tales to tell! Ivy and Ella are like sisters and they welcome Bobbie into the fold.
She grows, learns, and loves in a way she never thought possible. The journey for all of these girls is filled with little life lessons and I know there is something for everyone. While I like my share of details, this book doesn’t provide that. It is refreshing, clean, and something you can recommend to a friend. I think that Bobbie, Meryl, Barbara, Ivy, and Ella, are worth exploring. I loved the brownstone setting and the city of Chicago as a backdrop.
I can’t wait for the next book to come out. I give it 5 stars
