Written
in first person point of view and set on one of Hawaii’s
luscious islands, FLIP-FLOPPED is a sure winner for anyone
seeking a fun, fast-paced read! Keeley
Baker-Kekuhi’s life flip-flops after she discovers her
husband’s affair with a hula dancer.
Suddenly, she’s instigating divorce proceedings,
valiantly defending herself against her husband’s aggressive
lawyers, struggling to maintain custody of her son, and is stuck
pet-sitting a forty-six inch iguana.
To top things off, Keeley is back on the dating scene,
and she’s not having the time of her life!
FLIP-FLOPPED
truly touches the heart as the reader follows Keeley’s journey
through pitfall after pitfall on a road to recovery from
betrayal. Delightful
supporting characters such as Regatta, the faithful friend,
Morna, the quirky divorce attorney, and Ian, a possible romance,
bring humor and humanity to a too-real divorce situation.
Ms.
Smolinski drags the reader into Keeley’s thoughts from the
first paragraph and doesn’t release the reader until long
after the book is put away.
Throughout the reading of this novel, I kept thinking
“this novel would make a great movie!”
I was astonished to discover that FLIP-FLOPPED is Ms.
Smolinski’s first book—she’s definitely a star on the
rise, and I cannot wait to read her next book!
