Lucy Marshall has hit rock bottom. After failing to succeed as a single mom in Atlanta, she’s back home and moving in with her older brother, Drew. Reconnecting with her support system is the right thing to do, but Lucy can’t help but feel like a failure. Her four-year-old son deserves the world, and all she can give him is a spare bedroom. But Drew is the sweetest uncle, and some quality time might be exactly what they both need to start fresh. That is until she meets Cooper, her brother’s incredibly hot best friend.
When Drew senses something between the two of them, he puts his foot down on any shenanigans. According to him, Cooper is everything Lucy should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, and especially noncommittal. But Lucy has been getting the opposite impression so far; Cooper is a genuinely great guy, and she’s starting to catch real feelings.
Her whole life, Lucy has tried to do everything right, and look where that’s gotten her—so what if she were to try something wrong? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
I loved this story. It was like watching reruns of my favorite comfort shows. The relationship between the main character, Lucy, and her family was so endearing. I enjoyed how her parents and older brother were truly there for her and her four-year-old son, Levi. I can identify with leaving home to see what is out there in the world, only to return and realize how much I missed and needed my family.
When Lucy meets her brother’s friend, Cooper, she never expects to feel anything other than contempt for him. The author wrote Cooper’s character so perfectly and it was impossible not to fall for him with every page turn. The story gives all the typical, and much needed, roadblocks to make us wait with bated breath to see how things will end up. I really enjoy Adams’ writing and this is a wonderfully romantic and warm story that will make you laugh out loud.
