Publisher Description
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes.
A do-over.
This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path.
Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. I'll be taking care of a centuries-old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a little while.
That is, until I learn what the house really is: something I never would've thought possible.
As my new life begins, a couple of things become immediately clear: Forty isn't too old for adventure. Not by half. It is too old to take crap from anyone, however, or care what people think.
I had no idea how incredibly freeing that could be. Or how dangerous this new life would become.
I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.
Customer Reviews
Left wanting but not enough
The storyline is funny and exciting but was definitely lacking in the romance department. Anyone with recurring dreams about an old house with secret passageways and rooms (like me) will enjoy the main storyline. The main characters are hilarious! The ongoing banter between each each duo is the love-laced bickering we all enjoy to watch people engage in. I did not like that the ending came so abruptly that it was a bit of a letdown more than a cliffhanger. I wasn’t going “OMG I need the next book!” It was a, “That’s it???” Unfortunately, it’s left me wondering if the second book will be worth it.
Oh and the jumping from first person to 3rd person threw me off at first. I legitimately thought I missed something and went back twice. If you’re reading it probably won’t be a problem but for listeners, keep that in mind.
Breene really brought her A game with this series.
I love all these characters and found myself laughing out loud to all their antics and wicked banter. I completely related to Jess and her feelings about herself. I mean, we’re our own worst critics but she accepts herself and owns her struggles as we all should. Easier said than done that’s for sure. Needless to say this book is fun and once it got started I was eager to see where it would all go. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book!
