When my husband, Brian, first told me he’s from Laguna Beach, in the US, it took everything in me to play it cool. “Oh, is that near Los Angeles?” I asked. Like most elder millennials, I knew exactly where Laguna Beach was — I’d seen every episode of the reality show (I was an LC with a Kristin haircut) and was a superfan of The OC to boot.

Looking for an excuse to visit Healdsburg? Come drink wine and talk about books with me!

Friday, June 14, 7:00pm Toast with @JaclynWestlake at @thumbprintwine Cellars in #Healdsburg as she unveils her new debut novel: Dear Dotty. Enjoy a free pour of wine with the purchase of her book! Registration recommended: https://t.co/50SUAwUGJZ #avonbooks #deardotty https://t.co/Kvs8xijbzV

Dotty is a single, martini-swilling, pug-toting, globetrotting, child-free octogenarian with a sharp tongue and a heart of gold. I think you're going to love her just as much as Rosie Benson does.

When it rains, it pours for Rosie Benson. She gets fired from her job, has a falling out with her best friend, and loses her greatest role model, free-spirited great aunt Dotty. The perfect feel-good read, DEAR DOTTY by @JaclynWestlake is on sale 6/4! 🏖 https://t.co/9SAezYZvnU https://t.co/HFFVr5WXul
