She may not be as loud as Dr Phil, but in the relationship arena Darby Vaughn is the go-to dating guru for many who are lacking in the love department. Darby recently finished her latest relationship book Dream Girls Academy and is commencing her latest book tour. One of her first stops is a huge deal; she is speaking with Matt Lauer on the Today show! The segment is anything but hearts and roses, however, as she almost immediately is asked her opinion on the recent filing by her husband for divorce, which she hadn’t even heard about until that very moment. As you probably can guess, internal panic ensued and it got a little messy.
The rest of the tour stops have pulled the plug on her appearances after hearing the news. She spends the next twenty-four hours in bed with only junk food and liquor to keep her company. Finally, after a few days she is encouraged by her friends (the original dream girls) to head back home and pack her things. The next day her best friends join her and along with them and some hunky models turned movers they vacate the place.
For the next few months she tries to salvage what is left of her career. Not that many people pay attention to you when they think you’re a hypocrite, but she seems to find a way care of an upcoming reality show she is the star of. Will she ever get her career back on track again?? How will she dig her way out of this messy divorce? Will her heart ever be the same, let alone be able to love again?
This is a good book and a bit shorter then most but worth every penny. The sometimes sarcastic and funny wit lightens the darkest of situations and by the end you may believe that sometimes even a dating expert doesn’t know everything when it comes to matters of the heart.
