Ginny is a single mom who has been on her own from the very beginning. She falls in love and marries sweet Jeff, then moves into the house he shared with his ex-wife. Ginny finds out that the suburbs come with their own set of challenges; committee meetings, carpools and fundraisers - Oh My!
This is a bittersweet story of staying true to yourself when everything in your life is changing and not going the way you planned.
Ginny and her daughter Harry have the sweetest relationship that is really built out and feels genuine. They have fights, make up and grow both in their relationship with each other as well as learn about themselves in the process. Very reminiscent of the mother/daughter dynamic in Gilmore Girls.
This is definitely more women's fiction than romance. Ginny's husband Jeff leaves for Ireland shortly after Ginny moves in, leaving her to survive the neighborhood politics on her own. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the Real House Wives, slice of suburban life or parents behaving badly.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
