Definitely Better Now by Ava Robinson

One year sober, Emma has transformed much of her life. She has a steady office job, attends AA meetings regularly, and is in frequent contact with her sponsor.
But, even with all the effort she’s put in, life still isn’t easy. She hasn’t spent time developing friendships and relationships with the people in her everyday life. And she wants to put herself out there to try dating again, but doing that sober is so scary.
Any book is better with Karissa Vacker narrating it, but I fell in love with the story of Emma, the changes she’s undergone, her emotional growth, her learning to be openly vulnerable, and her search for connection and where she truly fits.
And, goodness, I sure did adore steadfast and steady Ben. Honestly, is there anything better than a quiet love interest blushing to the tips of his ears due to banter? I don’t think so.
I laughed; I cried; and I cheered Emma on.
As I previously mentioned, this one is narrated by Karissa Vacker. She does a fantastic job capturing the humor, awkwardness, vulnerability, and heartbreak of the story.
