If you are searching for a light read that isn't romance, Amy Poeppel's books make a great pick! Similar to Poeppel's other books, The Sweet Spot features an ensemble with relationships intertwining between most of the characters. In The Sweet Spot, Melinda seeks revenge on her ex-husband and sets off a series of events in which a group of newfound acquaintances ending up caring for an infant. Read if you enjoy: humor, Greenwich Village, light reads

I really liked this book actually... it was a fun read, and it wasn't super predictable/surprised me at a lot of the plot. I would recommend this to any friends.

One of the best books I've read all year. I appreciate that the uncomfortable tension only lasts as long as it needs to. I'm a sucker for a good found family book and The Sweet Spot scratches that itch expertly. The full cast narration really helps bring the story to life.
