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?

A very enjoyable quick read

I read this in two sittings.
First because I was captured by the story and second because I lost all track of time enjoying the read so much. And I love Shrimp and grits!

Book may be great but narrator is terrible!

I wanted to like this book but I can’t listen to it so wasted a credit on it of my subscription. Will read the book on my own but like to have some to listen to while working and this one I had to turn off.

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!

Insipid story line, plot.

Disliked immensely voice of narrator, irritating accents. Will make sure to not purchase another audio book with this narrator.

Kindergarten level book

It was a very basic book. Very shallow. The story of a lot of women these days. The narrator is not good either. Thankfully it was short.

Typical…

The story was typical and boring. Nothing special but I couldn’t get past the narrators voices. They were In their 40’s not 70 yo grandmas. Nothing special. I was excited because there is a line of series books but I’m not sure I can make it past the first.
