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.… (mer)

This novel pretty much had it all. Divorce, husband stealing, empty nesters, date rape, car accidents, miscarriages, adoption, drug addiction, jail sentences, extortion, etc., you name it, you’ll find it in this tale. Still, it was an engrossing read: the characters suffered through much, yet still survived to cope with the hand they were dealt. Some rather strange relationships resulted from circumstances beyond their control, yet they persevered with grace and dignity, mostly. There were a few occasions when self control was lost, but that’s life! The main protagonist, Lillie, is a survivor, and you can’t help but cheer for her and hope that the best is yet to come, because her life has never been easy. Though this book is lengthy, it reads quickly because you will soon be caught up in the lives of these people and in their not-so-everyday life on Cape Cod. ( )

Good read, but why would anyone -- especially Melissa -- be attracted to Brad? ( )

DNFing at 21%.

Lillie's husband cheated on her and left her. That sucks. That's awful. I symapthise. But... he keeps trying to explain to her that he no longer feels joy with her and he wants to go and find another life. And... I respect that?! I think that's fair?! Sure, it sucks for her, and he should not have cheated, and he should have given it time, but I'm getting really frustrated with the way she's refusing to listen to him or try and feel any empathy, and I know she's going to be a lot worse further in the book, so I'm putting it down here. Sure, he's not in the right, but I do think he's right to leave her and let her find her happiness.

When Lillie shows wealthy widow, Melissa, a new home, she doesn't realize this will change her life. A few short months after the sale, Brad tells Lillie he wants a divorce, and he is marrying Melissa. Lillie is utterly shocked and attempts to move on with her life. Her son, Dylan, has gone off to college, her parents' marriage broke up years ago, and her relationship with her sister, Hannah, is only recently being rekindled. Lillie is a midwife in town, and enjoys bringing new life into the world. Lillie is also remembering a traumatic event that happened to her when she was just a teen and has never gotten resolution. Her friend Ben helps her face it.
This is a novel of taking back your life and finding your strength in yourself. There were several laugh out loud moments, but overall, a good women's contemporary fiction novel. ( )

Lillie’s husband of 20 years decided to have “joy” in his life and leaves her for a younger woman. She gets the house and a huge mortgage and doesn’t know how she’ll manage. Meanwhile her husband’s new wife comes to Lillie, a nurse midwife, for her pregnancy. Complicated and fun! ( )
