If Sadie Turner is good at anything, it’s putting stuff in order. So when she finds her “perfect” life in disarray, she hopes a summer vacation at her aunt’s lake house will help her piece it back together. She wants to relax, reboot, and heal the wounds left by her cheating ex-husband. And that requires time away from men. All men.
Or so she thinks.
With two slobbering dogs and two cousins living there—one a flamboyant decorator intent on making over Sadie—it’s hard to get a moment’s peace at eccentric Aunt Dody’s house, especially with everyone so determined to set her up with Desmond, the sexy new neighbor.
Desmond is Sadie’s worst nightmare. Tall, tanned, muscular…and to top it off, he’s great with her kids. But he must have a flaw—he’s a man—so Sadie vows to keep her distance.
As summer blazes on, the life Sadie is trying so hard to simplify only becomes more complicated—a new career presents itself, her evil ex haunts her, and Aunt Dody reveals a tragic secret—but maybe a little chaos is just what Sadie needs to get her life back in order.

3.5 stars
Sadie caught her hubby with his hand up a co-worker's skirt and mistletoe dangling from his crotch. Suddenly all the past uneasy thoughts and suspicions were validated. Fast forward a little over a year later and the divorce is final. Sadie is headed to her crazy aunt Dody's house on Lake Michigan for a summer vacation with her 2 kids.
Sadie spends her days watching the sexy Scottish Doctor neighbor, Des, jog, while trying to convince herself she isn't interested in him romantically.
Crazy Little Thing is filled with jokes, craziness and a family I felt right at home with. They are lovable in their eccentricities, yet still so everyday normal! Had Aunt Dody not been so flighty she could have been my aunt. Her cluttered, lovable and free spiritedness was so familiar and heartwarming to me.
The romance between Des and Sadie is adorable and real. It is filled with all the excitement of new relationships and all the fumbles that happen when you really start to get to know someone.
As much as I loved the laughs, the family and Des and Sadie's romance, there is something that held me back from completely falling under this book's spell. I can't quite put my finger on it as I don't think the current content is lacking, it's that there is a depth or layer of the story that was never explored or added. I feel like there is a layer of emotion or feeling that was left out. All the right ingredients, it just wasn't nurtured to its full potential - If that makes any sense.
The author hails from Michigan, my home state. As a fellow Michigander I feel the need to point out that the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Lake Superior, not Erie.
