Ooohhhh I really liked this one.

The fight to save a local newspaper (and their jobs), the fight to allow oneself to be more vulnerable in her writing work and personal life, the building of a new reality after the divorce dust settles…all of it pulls the reader in by the heart and doesn’t let go.

People tend to see things through a certain lens, and it’s easy to assume everything is as you’ve been seeing it all along.

Getting nudged into opening your eyes a bit wider in order to see yourself and those around you more clearly can get uncomfortable, but can also be rewarding in so many ways.

I loved the way the dates helped Anna with this clarity. And how fun (and awkward) it was to have her kids being such an integral part of picking those date partners.

I loved how the relationship between Anna and Will progressed. The banter, the work they did together, the friendship, the spice.

This book was a heck of a good time.
