Tales of a Drama Queen, by Lee Nichols

This is the epitome of a summer beach reading type of book. It’s easy to read, funny, and doesn’t make you think too hard. It’s the story of Elle, who’s returned to her hometown of Santa Barbara after a failed relationship. She’s got no money, and few marketable skills, but that’s not about to stop her on her quest for the perfect job, the perfect apartment and the perfect man. Just what the doctor ordered on a warm summer’s day.
