Ever felt like the last item left on the clearance rack? As a successful patent attorney, Ashley Stockingdale has all the makings of a perfect catch: the looks, the brains, even a convertible. But at 31, she's beginning to wonder if she's been passed over for good. Deciding to adopt a new attitude, Ashley suddenly becomes the romantic interest of three men within a matter of days. While her heart enjoys turning the tables on the dating game, the rest of her previously predictable world is being turned upside down. Is it more than Ashley can handle? Or is it exactly what she wants? Award-wining author Kristin Billerbeck combines comedy with spunk to create a memorable story in "What a Girl Wants"--an all-too-realistic picture of a single girl's search for being content with who she is . . . with or without a man.
Kristin Billerbeck Knihy
Autorka sa ako románopisec venuje písaniu, aby vyjadrila svoj silný zmysel pre spravodlivosť a to, ako by mal svet fungovať. Jej diela skúmajú zložitosť rodinných vzťahov a stret medzi zmyslom pre povinnosť a životnými pôžitkami. Prostredníctvom pútavého rozprávania autorka odhaľuje iróniu a humor v každodennom živote a zamýšľa sa nad tým, čo znamená byť „prispievajúcim členom spoločnosti“. Jej písanie je poznačené jej osobitým hlasom, ktorý spája kritický pohľad s hlbokým pochopením ľudských slabostí.
