I liked the themes in this book: Second chances, fresh starts, taking a risk, trust.

I found it refreshing that the main characters were older and had their own baggage and actually talked to each other. I was so worried there would be a miscommunication plot line and I was thrilled when people talked to each other and actually figured it out!

Four stars,. Murphy the pup stole the show, really. What a cutie!

One star knocked off because they sounded like horny teens at times and I feel like a 50-ish rockstar wouldn't sound like that, but this was an enjoyable read.

Thank you to Victory Editing for this copy to review.

Not going to rate this one. Over halfway finished and it just wasn’t for me.

I didn’t vibe with the characters and I felt like it was glossing over the deep issues it was trying to use.

This felt far more like a first draft than a finished book.

I definitely want more Gen X rep and this might be for someone, but not me.

I liked how real the people and their problems feel in this book. It made for a compelling read and I was rooting for all the characters. It was nice to see an older couple and all of the side characters felt fully realized.

Super sweet and I loved that the characters are in their 40s and 50s. Can’t wait for the second book!
