Being Shelley, by Qarnita Loxton
Being Shelley, by Qarnita Loxton
Shelley Jacobsen is in her 40s and feels trapped. The coffee and décor shop that she opened with her bestie is proving to be a gilded cage. Meanwhile, her husband is consumed with Jewish guilt since having their twins, which reminds Shelley that she will always be a Shiksa to his family.
Then she hires Wayde Smith, a sexy 22-year-old surfer who smells like a Pina Colada Coconut Vanilla Dessert, as a barista. He makes her feel young and Shelley just wants some fun. But will it stay harmless?

Being Shelley is another of Quarnitas' famous "being" series and this novel is one of her best. The writing style in the book was simple to read. This allowed me to get through the book quickly. I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it as a great read for the holiday period and after. In fact I would add her other two books to the list as well. You will not be disappointed.
