Sadie and her book club ladies are such a great community. These women are friends who support and rely on each other. When Sadie who owns a boarding kennel talks about her younger sister who is getting married to a man her age and how she sacrificed so much to help raise her. Sadie is a thirty something woman who is still a virgin and really hasn’t lived. When a friend confesses that she has cancer each friend decides that they must make a bucket list and cross off an item, Sadie decides it’s time to do something for herself. Now she has recently gotten a new neighbor who in her mind has created some dungeon in his basement because he keeps receiving these boxes and she never sees him. Ian is a ex football player who is trying to find anonymity and bought a house in a small town to raise and co parent his preteen daughter. The story is sweet, it moved a little slow for me. Sadie and Ian propose this fake relationship so that she can have a boyfriend for her sister’s wedding. As they spend time together the town begins to see them as a couple and then Ian and Sadie start to realize that they have to put themselves first for once.
