I enjoyed this book and really have no notes tbh
Well except one and it was “damn your moving on quick ….. well i mean he moved on quicker technically” and that was after Violet and Dez kissed
( i think dez is a dumb name sorry to anyone names dez)
i say that as if anyone reads my review like girl calm down your talking to your self here
i told my mom i think the name dez is dumb (completely forgetting she has a coworker named dez) the conversation went like this
Me- the name dez is dumb
Mom-
Me-
Mom-
Me- ** realizes**
Mom- i’m telling her
Me- 😐🙁
Mom- Well is it short for Desiree
Me- No it’s just the dudes name D.E.Z
Mom- Well that’s a dumb name
Me- **Flabbergasted because i just said that and I WAS A BAD PERSON when i said it**

First listen to Miranda Lambert's Mama's Broken Heart then read this book because I think you'll be set up perfectly for the emotional journey in this book.
Violet is a delightfully compelling lead and her heartbreak to healing self discovery journey was uplifting and encouraging to read. I loved her chaotic breakdown in the beginning but what I also loved were the justifiable consequences she had to deal with in the wake of her destructive behaviour. It made for a realistic journey of grief and healing from a terrible marriage. I loved her throughout.
Dez was such a sweet romantic love interest. He doesn't get a POV in the book but I think Violet's perception of him throughout the book does a great job of setting him up as a viable and adorable romantic lead.
This book is just incredibly adorable and heartwarming from beginning to end and I cannot wait to read more Libby Hubscher books.
