Two families starting over after their marriages withered and died, putting the pieces back together and learning what they want and need again. Slowly a friendship forms between Carli and her new neighbor. Attraction is there, but she is far from ready to do anything about it. She is not even sure he feels the same. Her girls are what matter, and training the beast of a dog she bought for her little family.
Ben was left devastated after his wife's betrayal with his bestfriend. Moving on is not easy, but renovating his new house and finding out what he wants to do have a way of taking away the loneliness and pain. Especially in this new neighborhood with a new event or party atleast once a month and the neighbor he can't stop thinking about. Easy read about two people starting over and learning what they want before they jump onto something new.

This was a quick, fun read. Nothing tooooooo terribly intense. Is it bad that I wish that the dog had more page time?

A fluffy book. Very fast read and very predictable. I'm not sure how it got on my TBR list, but at least it was free through Kindle.

The new normal is a sweet romantic novel about second chances, the hesitation of the heart to accept things that are too good to be true. Loved the character development of Ben and Carli. Their thoughts about future are so matured and hopeful. The language of the author is easy to understand and flow of the story is heartfelt. Not disappointing at all!
Thank you NetGalley, Tracy Brogan and Montlake romance for reader’s copy of this book. The review is my own opinion on the book.

This is a new to me author, but I will definitely be looking at what else they wrote as I enjoyed the overall style and character development. I enjoyed finding a new normal, as we went along with the characters as they each found new things some found new homes, careers, dogs, friendship, difficulties of divorce and finally romance. This Is a good story and one I am sure many will enjoy.

This book was lighthearted despite the topic of navigating divorce. The writing was great. The characters were engaging. But it’s more romance-lite than romance. The couple deserved a proper love scene and it never happens. Even the epilogue just assumes the readers know what happened next. There was so much build up and it just kind of ended. If you don’t like love scenes but do like HEA, you’ll like this more than I did.
