I was drawn to this book because it’s so rare to find romance books written for middle-aged women about middle-aged women. The FMC is the same age as me with roughly the same number of years married, and similarly aged kids. Being able to relate to that age and stage is a novelty I couldn’t pass up.
This romance was so much more than I could have hoped for. I was afraid it would prove triggering or depressing, but what I got was beautiful writing, insightful reflections, and an intimate portrayal of grief and its healing process.
I loved Nel’s relationship with her family and especially appreciate the portrayal of parenting teens. I loved the the road trip, the “Forced Fun,” and the serendipitous moments with people they met along the way that lent Nel perspective.
I really really loved Ethan. I love how patient and understanding he was, how safe he made Nel feel, and how he loved her. Plus those steamy scenes!
Such a beautiful, emotional, healing and hopeful read. This was my first book by this author and won’t be my last!
