In The Smart One and the Pretty One, we meet Ava and Lauren Nickerson, two sisters who are completely different from one another. Ava is highly considered the intelligent sister who has her career in order but her personal life, relationship-wise, is pretty dull. Lauren is the free-spirited and beautiful sister who is a shop-a-holic, in a world of debt and never has a problem getting a man.
With the family going through a crisis, Lauren decides to move back to her home state in show of support. While home, she finds a contract created by her parents marrying off Ava to a neighboring family’s son, Russell Markowitz. Of course, Lauren being the free-spirited sister decides to do some “matchmaking” with her sister and the long lost neighbor, Russell Markowitz.
Author Claire LaZebnik has written a wonderful story that focuses on the lives of two sisters who love each other dearly but who have their own personal flaws. This is a lovely book that keeps the reader’s attention all the while adding in a few laughs here and there. The Smart One and the Pretty One is highly recommended to those looking for a quick and memorable weekend read and who enjoy chick-lit reads.
