The Do-Over

 

This is quite a good book that has twists, turns, and unexpected events, but I am not sure what the title has to do with the plot of the book.  Maybe I just missed the point.  Who knows? 

McKenna Keaton is a driven woman working in a high stress, high profile, New York City law firm as a junior partner.  In a meeting where McKenna believes she is going to be promoted, she is accused of embezzlement.  She is placed on administrative leave until the whole situation is cleared up.  At one point, she is told the investigation found out that she did embezzle the money, even though she knows she didn't.  

McKenna's youngest sister is getting married soon and is going to have an engagement party as well as having her sisters fitted for their bridesmaids dress fittings.  McKenna hadn't been sure she was going to make it for the weekend, but the loss of her job coincided with Taylor's weekend.  

McKenna has decided not to tell her family why she has really come home.  She just lets them believe that she's there for all of Taylor's events.  

Her brother-in-law was invited to a benefit for Hank Blume, a documentary producer, and took McKenna along, because McKenna's oldest sister wasn't feeling up to it.  McKenna finds out that Hank Blume is actually a classmate, Henry Blumenthal.   Sparks fly.   

The Do-Over is highly entertaining.  The story between McKenna and Henry is sweet, the relationships of McKenna and her family underwent a number of changes and cleared a lot of air with some humor thrown in for good measure.  The characters are believable, the settings are totally enchanting, and the movement of the plot is satisfying.  Bethany Turner has done a masterful job in putting words to paper to make an enjoyable story for her readers.  

Four Strong Stars.
