BLURB:
All Good Things…
are wild and free.
This is going to be the best summer ever! Bonfires, pool parties, trips to the beach, throwing her arms in the air while riding down the open road in a convertible – she’s going to do it all.
Roxie has plans. It’s the last summer before college graduation. By this time next year she’ll be living in the “real” world; ie: paying bills, searching for a job that doesn’t require an apron, and maybe even sleeping on a bed that doesn’t turn into a couch. If there’s ever a time to be fun, irresponsible and reckless, it’s now.
But things don’t always go as planned.
Before the summer has even started, Roxie makes a discovery that breaks her heart and shatters her confidence. Her hopes of having the Best Summer Ever go straight in the trash. Forget the beach. Forget the bonfires. Forget summer altogether.
If only her childhood friend, Jake, would let her be. His contagious smile keeps popping up and dragging her to every social event in Ann Arbor. Reluctant at first, his happy-go-lucky attitude becomes an addiction. It isn’t long before Roxie starts to wonder if her longtime friend might be the perfect cure for her heartbreak. This summer might be good after all.
But All Good Things…
must come to an end.
**All Good Things is an NA prequel to the contemporary 2013 release The Good Life. The books can be read in either order, or as stand-alones.**

Review:
I was a little worried since I hadn't read book #1 yet... But, not to worry you can read this one first.
I love, love, love Jake. It was the sweetest when he realized he truly loved her for more than the little sister of his best friend. He was vulnerable in front of her and it makes him realize that she is the one for him.
Roxie, is hilarious. She's a little spitfire with a smart A$$ comeback for just about anything. She's quirky with her list making and her reasoning. She didn't see herself like the other girls and this made her that much better.
I hated that they felt they had to keep everything a secret from everyone. I wish they would just come out with it and be public so that everyone will just confirm what they are already assuming about their relationship.
It was so heartbreaking when the summer was up and neither one of them could tell each other how they truly felt. I couldn't believe they just left it as a summer "fling" and Jake let her go back to school thinking he didn't care or want anything more from her.
I Laughed throughout this entire book, until the end then I cried and immediately picked up the first book and started reading. ~Cathy~

About Jodie Beau:
I'm a wife, mom, waitress, book nerd, Chapstick addict, and a really bad driver who still believes in happy endings and can't walk in high heels. Writing is what I do when I'm avoiding other things...like cleaning.
I once had big dreams of being a Hollywood screenwriter.
But then I met a boy and got distracted.
Three years later we met another boy, this one even cuter.
The three of us are now living happily ever after in the Detroit area. All good things is my second novel. And our house is kind of a mess :)
