Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins comes a funny and surprising new novel about losing it all—and getting back more than you ever expected.

Lillie Silva knew life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college, but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as her son leaves, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact that this
announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least), what shocks Lillie most is that she isn’t … heartbroken. She’s furious.

Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife, and nurse-midwife, she’s used to caring for other people … not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to
crash her ex-husband’s wedding dressed like the angel of death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! But it beats staying home and moping.

She finds an unexpected ally in her glamorous sister, with whom she’s had a tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter in, of all people, Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And
then there’s Ophelia, her ex-husband’s oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend.

It’s the end of Lillie’s life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you … out of the clear blue sky.

When my favorite romance writer writes a novel, I request it. But not only do I request the ARC (thank you Berkely and NetGalley!) I also preordered the e-book and preordered my signed physical copy from her local bookstore too. Why? because I like to have all of it. If Kristan Higgins writes it, I b......more

Highly Relatable and Emotional! The moment Lillie’s marriage falls apart, she can’t help but be shocked. After all, she thought her marriage was perfect, then her husband took up with a much younger woman. Lillie, of course, plots just a teeny, tiny bit of revenge. To say that she had me laughing (a......more
