Many thanks to NetGalley, Berkley and Recorded Books Media for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by the wonderful Kristan Higgins, with the audio perfectly narrated by the cast of Susan Bennett, Xe Sands, and Christina Moore. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
The old saying, Life is what happens while you're making other plans definitely applies here. Lark Smith had a plan - get married to the right guy so she could have a marriage as perfect as her parents and meanwhile have a career as an oncologist. Things aren't working out according to her plans. When the renowned surgeon Dr Sartini (aka Dr Satan) approaches her with a proposition - she thinks maybe he can help her out too. He just wants her to pretend date him to attend some family functions. She agrees and then has an instant connection to his brother. Things aren't all rosy with her parents either.
I adored this book! Told from the POV of three women each dealing with grief and loss - Lark, her mom Ellie, and her landlady, Joy. I fell into this book and didn't want to escape the Cape Cod world they inhabited. There's a lot of humor, life lessons, and a bit of romance - just the perfect summer read. I loved Lark's personality. Even though she was dealing with a lot and had a tendency to get too emotionally involved with her patients, she was able to stand up to Dr Sartini and her comments were so perfect. Ellie and Joy give an older perspective to second chances and new beginnings. Highly recommended!
