BUBBLES ALL THE WAY

Bubbles is having her share of troubles. Even though she is crazy about Steve Stilleto, she is remarrying her ex-husband, Dan, and she's not too happy about it. In the process of helping her friend, Sandy, at the House of Beauty, Debbie Shotzky dies of an allergic reaction. The cops are sure that Sandy somehow switched the glue for the extensions so that Debbie would die of her latex allergy. If that wasn't crazy enough, a young intern has been hired at the newspaper where Bubbles works and seems to be overtaking her desk. Oh yeah, and when Bubbles decides to buy a Christmas tree, someone starts shooting at her.

This is my first read by Sarah Strohmeyer. I found Bubbles and her troubles to be delightful. I really enjoyed listening to this book with all the crazy characters and twists and turns. However, the end of the book was such a disappointment. Not that I was expecting a totally realistic ending, but having Bubbles become the long lost queen of Lithuania was just too much of a stretch even for a fun and lighthearted book like this. I would have given the book a rating of four stars, but the ending killed the fun for me.

Rating - 3 stars
