“By turns heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud funny.”—Kristin Rockaway, author of How To Hack a Heartbreak

Sometimes love is unpredictable... in this witty and thought-provoking novel about a millenial widow whose life is thrown into disarray, with often hilarious results, when the most unexpected delivery arrives on her doorstep.

Twenty-nine-year-old Charlotte Rosen has a secret: she’s a widow. Ever since the fateful day that leveled her world, Charlotte has worked hard to move forward. Great job at a hot social media analytics company? Check. Roommate with no knowledge of her past? Check. Adorable dog? Check. All the while, she’s faithfully data-crunched her way through life, calculating the probability of risk—so she can avoid it.

Yet Charlotte’s algorithms could never have predicted that her late husband’s ashes would land squarely on her doorstep five years later. Stunned but determined, Charlotte sets out to find meaning in this sudden twist of fate, even if that includes facing her perfectly coiffed, and perfectly difficult, ex-mother-in-law—and her husband’s best friend, who seems to become a fixture at her side whether she likes it or not.

But when her quest reveals a shocking secret, Charlotte is forced to answer questions she never knew to ask and to consider the possibility of forgiveness. And when a chance at a new life arises, she’ll have to decide once and for all whether to follow the numbers or trust her heart.

Great Story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was narrated well with a good story line and just the right amount of romance.

Compelling story

I loved this story. It was different and dealt with love and loss, grief and hope so realistically. Kudos to the author. The narration was superb. Will definitely listen to it again.

You NEED to read this book!

Emily Belden is a super talented author who writes in a voice/tone that makes her characters super relatable and realistic. This book is full of twists, turns, and a main character who’s own self discovery is simply inspiring!! You NEED to read this book! So good!!!

Not for me

I really, really tried to get into this book but I couldn’t.The title was a little misleading.

I was so excited for this one....

I adored Hot Mess and I was excited to try this one. I had a hard time finishing it. I didn't feel anything for the lead character and the narrator made the lead character sound too old.
