Name an event and Sophie will be there.  Well she has to be there.  Sophie works for the local florist who does not only does all the flowers but also organizes most of the events throughout the year in their small town.  Then at the annual Valentine's Party at the local nursing home she runs into Andrew, the son of a famous chef working with the local caterer.  Now they are both required to be at all of the same events for the next year.  Too bad they hate each other.  Hopefully the year will pass quickly.

This book takes place over one year at nine different events.  It chronicles the evolving relationship Sophie has with her mom, best friend, and Andrew.  I really liked this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.
