Sass & Serendipity by Jennifer Ziegler

From Jennifer:
As you might have guessed, SASS pays tribute to my favorite Jane Austen story, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. It isn’t a retelling, per se, but it is inspired by her work. I purposely avoided rereading her while working on the book. It was not my intention to simply do an updated version, but to take the themes and emotions that I carried away from her novel and explore them in a modern, small-town Texas setting. Some parallels are obvious. There are two sisters with very different views on love. There is a single mom and money problems.
There are the respective love adventures. But the main relationship in the book is that of the sisters – their growing understanding and acceptance of one another.
I love this story the way I love all my books, and I can’t wait to officially welcome it into the world.
Jenny is a local (Austin), and I have had the pleasure to meet her several times. I loved her book How Not to be Popular. I totally identified with it! The main character moves around a lot and she wonders why she forms friendships all over the country if she just moves. This was SO me growing up! Give it a try....
I can't wait to read her latest. The cover is adorable!
