Lauren Leo was left at the altar at 41, from a text her would-be husband sent to her sister. All her friends are married, have children and are living the life that Lauren dreamed for herself. She now has to pick up the pieces and figure out what she is going to do next.
This novel is a journey of self-love, understanding and learning how to love again. Lauren's growth during the book makes this a believable story, she has setbacks, makes assumptions and judges others but you can’t help but root for her to succeed. The story is realistic and down to earth.
I enjoyed reading this story and getting immersed in Lauren's life, but do wish that the romance was more prominent. The main message of the book is "You can't control what other people do, only yourself". It was a slower build but once you understood where all the characters were coming from you fall in love with them and don’t want to put it down. There are some good twists that move the plot along and keep it an entertaining read.
I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like a steamy romance novel but rather a cute love story in the context of a personal growth journey. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
