Publisher's summary

She’s 43 years old…

…and starting over from scratch.

How did this happen? She had it all together. A stable marriage of two decades. Two grown daughters. And now she and her husband, empty nesters, were moving to a beach house. Until he showed up late one night and tore their marriage apart. A secret life. A different woman. Another family. Left alone, she has to begin again. And then her estranged sister and mother get thrown into the mix. When she buys a house on a small South Carolina island, will she learn what life is really about? Or will she find out that some relationships can never be mended?

Quirky and Corny

I did the Audible version of this book and the narrator was bad. Her voice was like nails on a chalkboard to me. The storyline was quick and didn’t give you a lot of time to get to know the characters. I finished the book because it was short and I paid for it but I wouldn’t read again.

The jerk of an ex husband.

Very enjoyable I highly recommend it for a summer beach read. Seriously. Buy it. Worth your time.

Terrible Narrator!!!!

It may be a good story but I can’t even finish it due to horrible narrator. She makes a 43 year old woman sound like a 70 year old and most other voices are done in baby voice. I can’t take it.

slow start

I wasn't sure about this story in the beginning, it was a very slow start. I hung in there and towards the end, the story picked up to the point that now I just have to buy the second book to see what happens!

Motivational

I liked how she moved on to do what she wanted and find herself. Then in the end stuck to it as well.

Light easy read - story felt rushed

I enjoyed the story here, but it felt rushed. I feel like it could've gone a lot deeper into the characters and story. I was surprised at the rush ending, lots more could've happened there. Overall, a light pleasant read, but could've been much better with more details.

Good story

I started this before but quit. Couldn’t take the narrator. Decided to try again, still she, Becky’s narrating grates on my nerves. I muddled thru.
I so wish authors would choose narrators more wisely, makes a Huge difference!
