A review by pageturnersandsweettea
A Better Next by Maren Cooper

4.0

I don't read many women's fiction novels, but when I do, I want it to be one just like this. Maren Cooper is a new to me author, but she has amazing talent and really sucked me into the story. When I started this book, it was 6pm. By the time I finished and looked up, it was 2am. I read it one sitting! It was THAT addicting. I couldn't believe that this was her debut novel. Her writing style is amazing and it felt like she was a seasoned author. 

I loved the way Cooper portrayed Jess Lawson. Her emotions jumped off the page, and into my heart, allowing me to feel everything she did. Seeing Jess go through the hurt and confusion of her husband leaving, of picking up the pieces and moving on, really hit home with me, from my own personal experiences. I love when a book does that!

Cooper did a wonderful job with this one, if you ask me. It's raw. It's emotional. It's real. Real life circumstances. True to life characters. Vivid details and a whopper of a message! If you are looking for your better next in life, I suggest you grab this 4 star novel up now and see just how Jess Lawson found hers. Great job on an amazing, beautifully written and emotionally moving novel, Maren Cooper! I am looking forward to another one just like it!
