Many thanks to NetGalley and Vine Leaves Press for gifting me a digital ARC of this new novel by Cynthia Newberry Martin - 4.5 stars!
Angelina is looking forward to an empty nest for the first time in decades. She stopped working as a nurse to raise her three girls while her husband, Will, worked outside the home. Now she wants to spend time figuring out her new life and looks forward to her empty house. But nine days after they dropped their youngest off at college, Will announces that he quit his job and is looking forward to spending time at home with Angelina.
I can relate to this couple and their feelings of figuring out their lives after so long being mostly associated with being someone else's parent. The author's writing style pulled me in and made me feel the longing and struggles this couple felt, even while they were still in love. The ending is left open just like our own endings are still to be told. Great book!
