Max Jennings is a twenty-something who appears to be in a bad mood wherever she goes. It’s a thoroughly entertaining, fun, light-hearted, romantic chick lit read that left me with a big smile on my face, and I honestly can’t wait to see what Rachel Hollis will have in store for us next! (JoH) While Smart Girl can be read as a stand-alone, I would recommend reading the whole series so you really get to know the characters and their background stories. The ending was pretty fantastic, though, so that definitely made up for some of it. I still really enjoyed the book, don’t get me wrong, but I wouldn’t have minded if there had been more to the story than just the main romance storyline. In the previous books, there was usually a main focus on a particular girl’s life, with separate storylines based on her job, family/friends, and love life. I did feel like this book had one storyline that was focused on and that was it. The female characters have strong personalities and are all different, which is what makes this series so great, especially combined with Hollis’ well-paced and comfortable writing style. Smart Girl is the final book in Rachel Hollis’ ‘Girl’ series in the previous books of the series, Party Girl and Sweet Girl, we already met best friends Landon, Max and Miko, and this time we get to hear Miko’s story. However, when things suddenly start to go in the right direction, Miko can’t help but run as fast as she can to get what she wants, not considering what she might lose on the way. With her family, friends and job to focus on, Miko knows she can’t just put everything aside to focus on her love life. But like the novels she loves so dearly, there are quite a few obstacles in the way to her own happy ever after, beginning with the fact that Liam is a player who does not want to commit to anyone. Ever since Miko saw Liam for the first time, she just knew they were meant to end up together. Twenty-something Miko Jin has three things in her life that she loves unconditionally: her job as a designer for the event planning business she started with her best friend Landon books (especially ones with handsome heroes and a good dose of romance) and Liam Ashton.
