Ellise's life is turned upside down when her marriage breaks down from her childhood sweetheart. Join her for a emotional but heartwarming mission to find herself again, and to try to build trust again. A lovely addition to the Whitsburough Bay books. I'll certainly be finishing the series.

As I already said in the review of the previous instalment this is a well written and entertaining story, the type of heartwarming and fun to read story I need now.
I read it as fast as I could and loved what I read.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Absolutely adore this series! This author cannot do any wrong in my opinion. I have found this book utterly impossible to put down.
Fantastic book by a fantastic author.

I have to say, just like the first case, I actually found the title Getting over Gary preferable to this one while liking this cover better. This is a reprint of a previously published book in a new format.
In the first instalment of the series, we focused on Sarah as the nucleus around whom the bickering best friends from past and present gravitated around. Now, we move on to the next in line, Elise. She is a girl who married at an astonishingly young age, and when I first met her in the previous book, I was hoping for one of those stories where such a long-enduring relationship continues to... endure. It was not to be, and Elise is thrown into the deep end with the newness of it all. She has never spent any time as a single adult, and she is learning quickly. Elise then finds a new path to bond with the third woman of the trio and this, unfortunately, makes things awkward with Sarah. There are weddings to plan while Elise's life comes crashing around her, and she tries to hold her own.
The character is endearing and has unique interests that she comes to terms with. Although the formula is not new, and nothing much here will surprise the reader, it is still a delightful book with likeable characters and a growth arc that we cannot but cheer.
I received an ARC of the book thanks to the publishers and NetGalley but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience and nothing else.
