Publisher's summary

From neighbors to friends to lovers? All the makings of a risky second-chance romance by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Brogan.

Since Carli Lancaster's divorce, she's worked hard to keep life as normal as possible for her daughters. When she lands a job as cohost of a local morning show, it looks like a fresh start. So does the arrival of a handsome new neighbor, who has more in common with Carli than just a property line.

Ben Chase is also new to single parenthood. And like Carli, he's focused on the future.

From navigating neighborhood gossip to decorating for holidays to reaching out in times of trouble, they quickly learn to rely on each other. Just like a couple but without the complications of coupling! Sure, there's attraction. They're only human. But they're also friends, and who wants to ruin a perfect relationship with romance?

They're both thinking about adding some perks, though, and even if their new normal isn't perfect, it's definitely somewhere in the neighborhood.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Talk about meet-cute!! Divorced, single mom, Carli, has a new neighbor...almost divorced, single dad, Ben. Their first meeting is epic!! Gus the gigantic dog steals Ben’s steak and demolishes his grill! Welcome to the Glenville neighborhood! This is a fun story with just a teensy bit of angst. Amy McFadden is the right fit for this story and does an excellent job with the characters. Recommend this read/listen.

The plot of very thin but good writing

I kept waiting for something to happen but it is written as 'a year in the life' of two divorcees.

Funny and sweet

What a fun listen - story was so sweet and narration was amazing! Loved all of the characters (except the ones you were supposed to dislike!) The New Normal lifted my spirits and I didn’t want the story to end!!

Fun novel great narration

I love Amy McFadden’s voice and would listen to her read the dictionary! Lol. That said, I enjoy Tracy Brogan novels also. This one was light and funny. Just the right amount of romance and real life.

I adored this book!

This is a favorite author for me, but this book was special. The characters were so real and relatable. The scene in the bedroom with her daughters was hysterical!

Best Book Yet!

I love Tracy Brogan, but this is by far her best book yet! All the characters are so well written, I love the story, and I would not have been sad if it lasted another 3+ hours!
