How to Mend a Broken Heart
by Rachael Johns
Rachael John's latest novel How to Mend a Broken Heart has the main heroines, forty-nine year old, Felicity Bell, and her daughter, Zoe, twenty-four, travel to New Orleans, US for some new adventures.
Felicity has been grieving her twenty-year relationship with her kids' father, who now was a she.
Her daughter's marriage with her high school sweetheart is not going that great either.
So, when Felicity stumbles upon a Facebook post about seeking someone to work in a taxidermy shop, with board and pay, she decides to take this new challenge on, to at least be by herself for a while, without anyone's expectations on her shoulder.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have that long by herself, as Zoe, heartbroken and lost, comes to stay with her, so she has to put her mother hat on, again.
But all is not lost. New Orleans is the perfect place, apparently, to mend one's broken heart. And nothing gives one a spring in their steps like a new love/hanky panky interest.
This was delightful and made me want to be in New Orleans. The food porn in this novel was outrageous, I was ravenous the entire day. :-)
Unfortunately, even the aroma of those delicious sounding dishes or the walks around New Orleans didn't prevent my cynical self from thinking that one of the men sounded too good to be true, especially when it came to dating a woman his own age. But luckily, most people less cynical than I and I'm pretty sure they'll love this second chances novel.
