HIGHLY recommend
This was the second audiobook by Melinda that I have listened to and enjoyed. She writes beautifully, organizes her character arc, and sets up her storylines well. BTW, she does not "spill the tea" on her separation, breakup, and divorce.
There are a lot of spiritual overtones to the book, which was not overly preachy. However, as a non-religious person, it didn't bother me. She sprinkles little pieces of quotes, poems, and stories throughout the book as special treasures.
Melinda is an amazing woman! I recommend listening to this on audiobook!
