On the Rocks

~ I received no compensation and opinions are 100% my own or my family. ~



Synopsis (from Amazon): Ever since she was a little girl, Abby Wilkes has dreamed of her wedding, the day when she'd wear a pretty white dress and look like a princess. . . .


That was before her life fell apart in front of the whole world. Her longtime boyfriend-turned-fiancĂ©, Ben, unceremoniously dumped her—by changing his status to single on Facebook—while she was trying on the most gorgeous Vera Wang dress for the big day.
Worried, her best friend, Grace, devises the perfect plan to get Abby back on her game. The two of them are going to escape sweltering Boston and its constant reminders of Ben and head to Newport for the summer. In a quaint rented cottage by the sea, Grace is confident the girls will enjoy cool breezes, cocktails, and crowds of gorgeous men.
But Abby and Grace discover that in this era of social media there is no real escape. Dating has never been easy. But now that the rules have changed and the boundaries are blurred beyond recognition, will they ever find true love? And if they do, how can romance stand a chance when a girl's every word and move can go viral with a single click?
As the summer winds down to Labor Day, Abby will make some surprising discoveries—about love, men, friendship . . . and, most important, herself.



One (or more) Sentence Summary: While I thought On the Rocks was a good, what I liked bested about it was the transformation Abby made.  I liked the person she became over the summer after her finance called off the wedding via Facebook. I listened to On the Rocks and it kept me entertained during my commute.

Would I Read Other Books by the Author: Yes, l LOVED Bond Girl (click here for review).  I would like to read Lost Along the Way.  


Erin Duffy graduated from Georgetown University in 2000 with a B.A. in English and went on to spend more than a decade working in fixed income sales on Wall Street. Bond Girl is her first novel.
