668. Smart Vs. Pretty (Valerie Frankel)

Synopsis from Amazon UK:
Francesca Greenfield, a smart, urban professional is suddenly tossed out of her so-so career and into the business of selling coffee alongside her pretty, perky sister, Amanda. But selling coffee is only the start of their problems. The sisters have been thrown together in a last-ditch attempt to rescue the family business before it goes permanently down the drain and, as for the coffeehouse itself, well there's rarely a dull moment. Consider the piranha-minded next-door franchise and the brainstorms of one nearly psychotic marketing manager for starters. And who can forget about love? Or at least sex. Thanks to a promotional contest, it's not long before Amanda is looking to explore the aura of a butch mountain climber while Francesca considers shedding more than her inhibitions with a former model. The stakes are rising and it's time to find out whether smart or pretty knows best, whether the distinction really suits either one of them, and whether the Greenfield sisters are actually capable of living happily ever after.

My rating: 3 stars
