Somebody to Love by Kristan Higgins
Nicky's mom, Parker wrote the High Rollers kids series and had just shared the last book of the series with Nicky's class.
Ethan was the dad but they wre never married although Nicky spends some weekends with him and his new wife, Lucy who is best friends with Parker.
She does live in the mansion in town, well just a few rooms out of the hundreds there.
She always loved her summers there with cousins and friends and learning to sail.
The Holy Rollers tried to suggest things to her to get her to go out more often also. They lived in her mind consistently.
The mansion, located along ocean drive is in RI (hey that's where i live, on the same island just not anywhere near close to the mansion) is really owned by her father who stops in rarely from his place in NY.
James, the lawyer was there when Harry told his daughter, the princess, that they were broke and that she'd have to move. She'd have time to get the things she had bought for her and Nicky out of the house, her dad had used their trust funds when he was dealing with insider trade secrets. He would be in court on Monday for trial.
Love how they talk of most recent events: madoff and occupy movement.
He had lost all of the houses and the contents. all but the one in Giddeon's Cove, Maine which her aunt had left her. On his way out of the house her father informs her that his lawyer, who also knows how to do carpentry will do with her to Maine to help fix up the house so she can sell it.
What she thought was a shed, was actually a 2 bedroom house on stilts with a living room and a kitchen and bathroom. The whole place was piled inside with clothes, sewing things, all kinds of clutter. there was a path to get from one room to the next.
James spends the summer getting the house ready to resale so Parker can get back to RI and her life.
She had to take a summer job and that helps later in the book.
There are a lot of situations where the relationships between people in the book are not all they could be, there are a lot of secrets from all over that come to light that make the book make sense, like the missing pieces of a puzzle.
Heart warming and heart wretching at the same time as tragedies arise.
Super book!

Somebody To Love Hqn Kristan Higgins 9780373776580 Books Reviews

Single mom Parker Welles is flat broke thanks to her father's insider trading debacle. The only thing left to her name is a cottage on the coast of Maine that she inherited from an Aunt that she barely remembers. Visions of cashing in on some ocean front real estate are soon dashed though. The cottage is a ramshackle affair more accurately described as a shack. A shack that's filthy and packed to the rafters with junk, junk and more junk.

Enter James Cahill, her father's flunky/attorney. Turns out James is quite the handyman, and he's offered to help Parker fix up the dump (er, cottage) so she can sell it and hopefully turn a profit. But there's a catch...Parker doesn't trust James and is excruciatingly uncomfortable around the man. The old saying "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind, and Parker finds herself sharing a house (and maybe more) with the handsome lawyer. Will the process of flipping a house end up turning Parker's life around as well?

Kristan Higgins really does write some of the best feel-good, humorous contemporary romances out there. Parker and James are very appealing characters, and we learn their history in small doses, almost like piecing together a mystery. The supporting characters, especially Parker's cousin Lavinia, really add a lot to the story. The third person point of view allows some good insight into James's personality and what motivates him.

A "typical" Higgins heroine is often desperately searching for love, a little needy and often pining after someone unattainable while ignoring the great guy that's standing right in front of her. Parker was a nice change of pace from all that. She's self-confident and while meeting "Mr. Right" would be nice, it's not a huge priority in her life.

Now I wouldn't be totally honest if I didn't say that one of the reasons I loved this story was a chance to revisit Maggie and Malone from Catch of the Day (Hqn). Malone speaks! You don't have to read that book in order to enjoy this one, but if you have read it you're in for a treat.

There are some very funny scenes in this book, and I like that the humor is more situational and doesn't always come at the heroine's expense. (I dare you not to laugh at the scene in the jail cell!)

This one hits all the right notes great characterization, smart humor, realistic dialog and an interesting storyline. My only real gripe (and I know I'll be in the minority ) was the saccharine laced epilogue. Good grief, that was my sugar allotment for the next six months! A great read though and highly recommended.

Very occasional strong language and some very mild (non-explicit) sexual content.
