The Unplanned Life of Josie Hale by Stephanie Eding
4.0
Josie’s life is falling apart. Her husband cheated on her and now they are getting a divorce, she moved back to her hometown with her parents, and now she’s pregnant. When she runs into Ben and Kevin, her friends from high school, the three decide to move in together and get their lives together.
I adored this book. It was full of heart and sweet moments and Josie’s journey was so beautiful. I loved watching her really start to feel like she found herself despite all of the struggles she was going through. I loved the unconventional family she Ben and Kevin created and how they truly encouraged each other and were an incredible support system for one another. Josie was the sweetest main character - she was funny, she was relatable, and she was such a kind person it was impossible not to root for her. The slow slow burn second chance romance between Josie and Ben was so sweet and I loved them together. The romance definitely takes a backseat in this story, and is more of a women’s fiction, self-discovery journey, so be aware going in. Overall, I loved this book so much and am so happy I read it.
I switched between audio and ebook and loved both formats. Sophie Amoss was the narrator and did an amazing job bringing Josie to life. I loved her narration and found myself listening to almost the whole story before realizing it was suddenly almost to the end.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca, Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for the advanced copies.
