FFS, I cannot be the only person who thought I was reading about a retiree, looking to collect whatever UK's version of Medicare is (? I don't care enough to research this) and not someone MY OWN AGE who was starting over in life bc her husband is a shithead. I could have played a drinking game with how many times her saggy boobs were mentioned and everyone's gray hair was pointed out. While yes, one has a low self esteem after such happens, she otherwise didn't which made all the talk about SO MUCH SAGGY BOOBS SKIMMING THE BOTTOM OF HER RIBCAGE that much more odd.
Also a middle aged man does not use that many emojis, especially on the start.

Delightful story about an over 40 woman finding heralded and creating a home for herself after her husband cheats on her. I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of a seaside village and the community found there. It was also nice to see a “heroine” about my age being centered in a romcom.

I liked it, but it probably could’ve been 100 pages shorter. It fit all the romance tropes and I was kind of getting tired of it by the end. But it did have a lot of cozy vibes and crossed multiple holidays.

This was a really cosy, light read. Ideal for the winter months.
I really enjoyed the small town setting and the characters residing there. The book club element was fun too.
I think there are tons of people who would enjoy this book. For me, it was just too long and predictable. But that's personal taste. I know this would be the perfect feel good read for lots of people.
Thank to Jenny Bayliss, NetGalley & Pan Mac Millan for an eArc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really fun read. It had funny bits, it had cozy small town, and a slow burn romance. Overall a good time.
