Kelly Callahan had everything going
for her. Everything that is, except for a relationship. It wasn't for the lack
of trying, it just seemed like she was a magnet for all the wrong ones. But all
of that was about to change the minute she laid eyes on Jake.
On a dare from her close friend, Michelle, Kelly accepts a challenge to date and become Jake's girlfriend within three months. The consequence of losing is global humiliation, and she refuses to lose.
Enlisting the help of her childhood
friend and confidant, Brian, Kelly manages to catch Jakes attention. She also
unknowingly hooks Brian who tries to sabotage the plan. Kelly finds herself
with a dilemma; take the final step with Jake and win the plan or follow her
heart and reveal her feelings for Brian.
Praise for The Three Month Plan:
"The Three Month
Plan is an enjoyable YA contemporary romance story about friendships and
relationships ... sometimes you have to look right in front of you to recognize
the person who loves you most. Author Kimberley Patterson weaves an
entertaining romance story set in San Diego, that follows the trials and
tribulations of longtime childhood friends. The Three Month Plan is a
lighthearted and tender love story about best friends who have deeper feelings
for each other, and the trials and tribulations that they go through during a
three month plan that leads them back to each other. This is a cute coming of
age romance with quirky characters, funny dialogue, and amusing interactions
that puts a smile on the reader's face. I really enjoyed that the
chapters alternated between Kelly and Brian's perspectives, the reader is given
the chance to get into each of their minds as the angst over their true
feelings for each other duels with their reluctance to lose their close longtime
friendship. This is the type of YA contemporary romance story that took me back
to my own post-high school days when I was like Kelly, trying to figure out
what to do with my life mixed with the youthful giddiness of agonizing over
guys at the local beach."-Kathleen, Jersey Girl Book Reviews
"I thought this was
a light, fun read.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is
looking for something lighter and more fun to read rather than deep, dark, and
disturbing because this book is one of those that simply refreshes
you."-April, Yes I Read That
"I loved reading
this book! Such a fun read, loved all the characters, the interactions and the
whole story line. I couldn't put The Three Month Plan down until I got to the
end. This book is a must read!"-Kerie, Amazon Reviewer
"Normally, I read
mysteries, thrillers, or sports books. But, I've been following this new
Author, Kimberley, and I was impressed with her first book, Red Rock. So I read
this one too. It is excellently written, and again, as in Red Rock much detail
was given to language, grammar and punctuation. It's nice to see an Author
(especially a new one), take pride in their work. Kimberley has again given
great descriptions of Characters, locations, and perspectives. I really enjoyed
this book and can't wait for her next one. Keep it up
Kimberley!"-Tonkasid, Amazon Reviewer
"I simply adored
The Three Month Plan! I needed this in my reading life right now due to the
fact that I've been plagued with so much angst lately. The Three Month Plan
made me remember why I love a tender love story about best friends turned
something more. For the longest of times I was forgetting that it was my most
favorite storyline too. But I've been hit by that particular book love bug once
again, and I have Ms. Patterson to thank for that! First we have our
heroine Kelly. She's so sweet, and she's not the stereo typical beautiful
heroine that you find in a lot of young adult reads and I really think that's
why I liked her so much. I adored the dual point of views in this book.
For once, the hero was actually really believable. Brian was so sweet and
adorable that I wanted to squeeze him and save him for my own daughters one
day. (Yeah, I'm weird like that.) I would highly recommend The Three Month Plan
to anyone looking for a lighter YA read, but still has the voice of an NA read
as well. Ms. Patterson has a great story telling voice, and she created
characters that I truly fell in love with. I rooted for them from the get go,
and watching them make their mistakes and find their happily ever after was not
a torturous journey in the least. Like I said, this was the perfect light read
that will make you swoon and feel giddy all in one sitting. Great job Ms.
Patterson! You have earned a fan in me!"-Heath1005, Amazon Reviewer
Author Information:
Horses were one of my first loves,
and writing soon followed. As a child, I spent hours writing poems, and short
stories (about horses). My parents realized that I was horse-obsessed and
decided to buy me one after taking riding lessons for two years. I think they
hoped that all of the hard work, and hours spent mucking stalls would help me
give up this expensive hobby. They were wrong. Writing is still a passion of
mine, although now I primarily write fiction. My first novel, Red Rock, was
published in 2010, and big surprise, there are horses in it. My second novel,
The Three Month Plan was released August 2013.
Other Loves: My family, yoga,
skincare and makeup, sushi, and raising money for pediatric cancer. I have two
rescue dogs and would have more if there weren't zoning restrictions. I'm
always trying something new, as I tend to get bored very easily. Thankfully, my
love of driving around with the gas light on fuels some excitement. I love
novels with happy endings, and am a hopeful romantic. My latest obsession is
browsing Netflix, and I can name all 50 states in alphabetical order in under
30 seconds. Do I feel a wager coming on?

Review:
Do
you have those friends that would just be perfect for each other, but just can’t
seem to get together due to timing or other issues? Sometimes you just want to step in and play
matchmaker and move the pieces around to get the happily-ever-after, but that
doesn’t always work out. In this story, Kelly
makes a bet with her friend to hook the hot new guy in three months and enlists
the help of guy friend Brian to make it happen.
Brian, the guy she had a thing for, who broke her heart without ever
knowing it, who is now her best friend.
Brian, the guy who might have a thing for her, who definitely doesn’t
want her dating the new guy, who might sabotage the whole thing.
Now
that’s a tangled web. The story is funny,
sad, humorous, and well worth reading. I
give it 4 out of 5 clouds.
