One morning on her way to work in Atlanta, Marcie decides she has to get away. She leaves everything -- her husband, her job, and her comfortable life. Flint finds her on the beach in Florida. He provides her with a safe place and the opportunity to figure out what she wants out of life.
Wow! A touching story of loss, regret, forgiveness, and self-discovery unfolds in The Way We Weren't. Flint, Marcie, and the quirky people around them are all realistic characters; their problems are quite relatable. The unlikely friendship between Flint and Marcie warmed my heart. This book was a delight to read!
The Way We Weren't is an excellent reminder to live life to the fullest by dwelling in the possibilities instead of fearing the unknowns.
Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for an advance copy of this book.

Loved it! Such a heartwarming and touching story. Loss and heartbreak bring together an unlikely friendship of two people most unlikely to have met, but help each other heal. Marcie Malone is struggling with her marriage, work and life in general. Her character is believable and relatable. Herman Flint is dealing with his own loss and I love his grumpy character. There were parts that made me laugh, and parts that made me cry. I want to have lunch at Tequila Mockingbird with Darla and "the boys". Cast of characters are lovable and well written. This book is perfect for those who love a good character story, a touch of suspense/mystery and just plain great story telling.
