Out of the Clear Blue Sky

De: Kristan Higgins

Narrado por: Xe Sands, CJ Bloom

From New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins comes a funny and surprising new novel about second chances—and why the lies we tell ourselves are the most dangerous.

Lillie Silva knew life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college, but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as her son leaves, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least), what shocks Lillie most is that she isn't...heartbroken. She's furious.

Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife and nurse-midwife, she's used to caring for other people...not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband's wedding, dressed like the angel of death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! But it beats staying home and moping.

She finds an unexpected ally in her glamorous sister, with whom she's had a tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter in of all people Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie 20 years ago. And then there's Ophelia, her ex-husband's oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend.

It's the end of Lillie's life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you...out of the clear blue sky.

Very Enjoyable Listen!!!

This book really was a fun one! I laughed so many times and the characters are so lovable. No…the situations aren’t very realistic, but I’m not reading fiction for reality!! I’ll be looking for more books from Kristan Higgins!

Great read.

I have read many of Kristn Higgins books but this one is by far my favorite. As with all her books, the narration is superb .
The narrators kept me entertained with a fabulous story line filled with great characters.
I related so much to this audiobook.
Being an obstetrical nurse for 35 years and also having my marriage of 27yrs end in divorce I certainly could relate. Lily is my hero!

Bittersweet

I struggled with the beginning due to my own baggage, but karma wins out in the end.

Out of the clear blue sky

Great book the narration was amazing. These are some of my favorite narrators and this is my favorite author. Every book by this author and the writer keeps my attention and I’m always entertained informed and put through every emotion you can imagine. The characters are always smart thought-provoking and interesting. I highly recommend this author and these narrators.

Another great book

Fantastic story. Lots of plot turns with the usual humor that Kirstan puts in her books.
I love Xe Sands as Lily.
