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.

This was a really cute book. It’s kind of slow at the beginning but it does pick up. This was less of a romance and more of a “I’m healing” kind of book, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I wish I got to know the love interest more. This book made me laugh so much and I would recommend if you were in the mood for a light read.
