About this listen
You're never too old to run away from home.
Ellie Dwyer, 61, is convinced bad luck comes in threes, and not just garden-variety, oh-well bad luck. How many people have to flee not one, but two natural disasters? And in between the wildfire and the hurricane, her husband of nearly 40 years suddenly up and left her for no reason she could fathom, disappearing from her life without a clue to his whereabouts.
Determined to reinvent her life, Ellie sets out on a journey across the country. Along the way to nowhere in particular, she buys a camper, becomes friends with a remarkable octogenarian, and starts to believe that good luck might also come in threes.
Or does it? That depends on how she defines good luck.

Story
When introverted cartoonist Remi Stephenson dumps her cheating ex and goes on their Hawaiian vacation solo, even her creative mind can’t imagine being purposely stranded in the ocean…with a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL. Even more unbelievable is the spark between them. Surely this is just rebound hormones. Right? Because who finds their soulmate in the middle of a life-or-death situation? And what would a SEAL want with a curvy, nerdy artist, anyway? Of course, none of those doubts stop Remi and Vincent from making plans to get together back in California, even before they’re rescued.

Wonderful escapism! With practical advice!

I LOVED the narrator. It is a story told from an older woman's perspective, and they chose a woman to narrate that really fit that part and made it authentic.
Without telling any of the story, I wasn't expecting to cry, but I did. The main character experiences a life changing event, closure and a new beginning.
I am sincerely hoping that the rest of the books come out on Audible. In any case, I am looking forward to unplugging and reading them while sitting next to the Aliner Camper we named Luna.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. Bravo.
Good Read Full of Surprises that Touched my Heart

It was ok, not great

The struggle and trial was relatable. The beautiful people she met along her journey only added to the appeal! But the ending ruined it. Just killed it.
-SPOILER ALERT-
I value the idea of closure and redemption as much as the next person.
But this story just needed a different outcome.
This had so much potential
