About this ebook

Silicon Valley chiropractor Poppy Clayton is as calm, cool, and adjusted as they come . . . or is she?

Known for her bad fashion sense, a love for all things natural, and the inability to get a second date, Poppy is beginning to wonder if she might be misaligned herself.

Poppy's route to self discovery will be an unnatural one involving a plastic surgeon (of all people!), a condemned house in Santa Cruz, and a wedding date from the dark side. It's enough to send a girl and her gal pals running for their favorite spa!

Ratings and reviews

This book had potential, but lost me with the main character. Poppy is so opinionated on all her health and wellbeing methods I found it difficult to like her. She seemed to insult everyone around her. In addition to her being the queen of all things alternative, she's got 3 men throwing themselves at her (2 of them wealthy of course), she's an exercise addict, and her life long friends seem to insult her repeatedly without consequence. The plotline was dilute and Disneyesque. The romance was tepid at best.
