40. London is the Best City in America

London is the Best City in America was a good Sunday afternoon read. It's more family drama then chick lit, even though the main character is a 20something in the midst of relationship drama.

Here's the description: After making the difficult decision to call off her engagement, Emmy Everett left her life in New York City behind, and moved to a tiny fishing village in Rhode Island. She's been working on a documentary film, and generally avoiding the fact that she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. But July 4th weekend has rolled around again, and Emmy is forced out of her self-imposed isolation – she has to return to her hometown (which is also the site of her failed romance with her ex-fiancé) for her brother Josh's wedding. Upon arrival, Emmy finds that Josh has a terrible case of cold feet. With less than twenty-four hours to go before the wedding, she takes him on an unforgettable road trip to help him figure out what he wants from life, and with whom he wants to spend it. Along the way Emmy learns some of her own lessons, and begins to realize that love, moving on, and happy endings that she thought were only found in movies, aren't a fantasy after all.

I really enjoyed this one and definitely recommend it.

(Side note - I was thinking about how this would make a good movie and just saw something online that said it is going to be made into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon.)
