Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this start to a new series. We follow Beatrice as she goes back to her roots after her husband’s affair and break up. I really like stories that give you all the feels with small town drama, a big emphasis on family, friends and starting over late in life. The book ends with an interesting ending that gets you hooked for the next book in the series. I would recommend this women’s fiction novel. I voluntarily received and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Starting Over at Mid-Life This book is the first episode of a new series. I am excited to read this series as I get so invested in this author's cooks. This episode starts off with a 45-year-old woman who moves back to her childhood home after her husband dumps her. It is a good story that introduces us to the island life and the interesting characters who live there. The story ends with a nice hook for the next book. She is one of my favorite authors. You'll love this series.

SO Compelling. Read it in 1 sitting. Awesome storyline!!
