Book Giveaway: The Big Love

I'm authorized to give away 3 copies. Rules for entry in the drawing are below. Please read them carefully.

The Big Love: A Novel
By Sarah Dunn
(c) 2005; TRADE PAPERBACK release 2009
Pub. Back Bay Books
256p

Alison Hopkins isn't just looking for Mr. Right . . . or even Mr. Big. She's holding out for the Big Love.

When 32-year-old Alison's first real boyfriend unceremoniously dumps her - he steps out to buy mustard for a dinner party and never returns - it's time for Alison to reassess her lifelong search for romantic fulfillment. Does true love even exist? Is every romantic involvement with a coworker inevitably doomed? Does sex without commitment always lead to disaster? Is a girl's evangelical Christian upbringing an impediment to her finding true happiness?

Funnier than any "chick-lit," as poised and accomplished as any literary debut this year, The Big Love is a big-hearted, hilariously entertaining novel that readers all across America are falling for.

Oh no, poor girl. But I am sure she will manage to find her happy ending. That's what I love about chick lit - everything resolves itself much more cleverly than in real life.
