"I had tears in my eyes at the top of the page and was laughing out loud by the next!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewer -C.B.
"This book has both humor and heart." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewer - LR
She's not her first love, but could she be her last?
Billy is curious when her neighbor's daughter moves back home after a divorce. A couple of gruff encounters with Andi and Billy thinks she understands why she's suddenly single. Except she can't stop checking out Andi's sculpted legs and reveling in her IDGAF personality. After a brunch disaster with crying in public, and a light-hearted game night with friends, Billy starts wondering what's next on Andi's agenda...and if it could be her.Tropes: Return to hometown, second-chance at love, hurt/comfort.
Excerpt
"When are you going to realize that getting what you want is not convenient? It’s hard. It takes work. And guts to stand in the fire,” Billy said. It was coming out, and Billy had no way to hold anything back.
“But it’s so worth it. You’re so worth it. Because it’s what you deserve. Smart, amazing, attractive, beautifully broken you. You deserve to be happy all the way to your bones. Not get sucked into ‘familiar’ because he will never give you half of everything you should be demanding and not just settle for.”
By the wild look in Andi’s eyes, Billy was absolutely certain she’d tanked her chances. And that she had nothing to lose. Billy slipped her hands into the back of Andi’s hair and touched foreheads.
“Tell me, Andi,” Billy whispered, a howl from her guts. “You don’t want the fire.”
Billy kissed her. Thunder, lightning, hurricane-force desire pouring from her mouth into Andi’s.

Story
She’d lost almost everything…until a family found her. Canny, well, she goes by her last name because Rose never fit her anyway, is getting by week to week–and sometimes, table to table–after dropping out of art school. So what if she's talented. Life isn't supposed to work out for the daughter of an addict and get-rich-quick (get-broke-quicker) schemer. Still Canny believes in humanity and helps out an overwhelmed mom of three, Ella, struggling to enjoy a meal out with a useless husband, Callahan. Ella offers Canny a nanny job, but she has reservations–and no idea what a nanny ...

Story
Caroline Parker knows three things to be true. First, she is going to be Boston's most sought-after divorce attorney by 35. Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that. When she runs into Hannah Dalton on Christmas Eve, she has no reason to believe her luck will change. After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she's ever seen, she's also straight.

Unfortunately her ten-year-old daughter adores hockey, and her idol happens to be none other than Sarah Brennan.

Lots of push and pull
I really enjoyed this story. I wish it was narrated by a professional actor, it would really come to life.
Lot's of push and pull between the two MC to figure out what they really wanted.
I could identify with this story as if it could be a true story. Realistic, down to earth, believable.

I wish they would have used an actual person to read this book and not this AI. I like the storyline but MAN it is hard to get through with the AI doing the story telling.

If you want Siri or Alexa to read to you then this is the book for you.
Honestly, I could not listen to the book. It is read with AI so the narrator is a computer that sounds like Siri or Alexa reading. I’ll give the paperback a chance.

What a Whining Useless Journey. I have never read a book that went on and on about nothing. The characters were just dull.
