Tender and heartwarming! I will say the MC drove me up a wall (and was quite insufferable) for about 80% of the book. The other characters, situation, setting etc were all magnificent - other than the MC.

I think the fact that I read this twice in a year speaks for itself. Hilarious, romantic, road trip fun — what more could you want?

 If you like women’s fic OR romance with steamy sex scenes, a grumpy hero and sunshine heroine, and a sapphic historical subplot IN KEY WEST told through a dual timelines, which is literally all I want in a romance novel, READ MRS. NASH’S ASHES. TODAY.

My only complaint about this book is that I wanted more of Mrs. Nash and Elsie — but I know that Millie was truly the focus here. I loved this book. I adore a road trip story, and this one has all the best shenanigans and is so well plotted and paced. The characters are spectacular, and the way they approach life is written in a way that feels realistic and relatable. I love a romance that can interrogate big feelings other than love, and this one is full of grief, self-discovery, strength, friendship, and more.
