My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Save the Date is my first Jenny B Jones chicklit. I don’t usually dig this subgenre of romance so my 5 star rating shows you this book is worth reading whether you like chicklit OR NOT!
Our heroine is the brave underdog Lucy Wiltshire. Though the daughter of a single unmarried mom, Lucy endured a high society high school. In her adult life, she runs a non-profit in Charleston, SC, Saving Grace, for girls who have aged out of the foster system but haven’t finished high school. The plot revolves around a deal she strikes with the hero Alex Sinclair. She will get Saving Grace funded if she poses as his fiancee for his political campaign. Yes, I know it sounds like a Made for TV movie. And it may end up one. A very interesting secondary character Clare Devereaux who for some reason wants to claim Lucy as her granddaughter. Is Lucy her granddaughter and if she disowned her before what does she want with her now? A thoroughly enjoyable and touching read. A Romance Writers of America RITA finalist this year too~!
