This book was absolutely delightful. From the very beginning I admired Helen and her strength to want to do something for herself. She knew it was going to be hard, but it’s what she needed to give herself a chance to start fresh. Jake is her immature little brother’s best friend, and kind of a nuisance himself to Helen.
