TRIGGER WARNING: some verbal abuse, and an instance of a slap to the face
I was really lucky when I entered a Goodreads giveaway contest because I won this book! I don't like to give much away in reviews, and I hope that l can manage to do that here, too.
The primary MC had recently divorced from a very controlling woman after their 30 year relationship. She had turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism, and her ex had convinced their daughter that the MC wasn't very safe on her own. A friend/work-related associate offers the use of her vacation house in Colorado for the protagonist to get away from Texas and her troubles, in hope that she'll get a chance to reset and be able to move forward in her life. Not only does she relax and learn to enjoy the nature and beauty around her, she becomes friends with the woman next door. Their friendship helps to break the negative programming of her ex, and she starts to feel better about herself.
The neighbor/second MC has a body positive attitude towards her, and that message continues throughout the book. While getting to know each other better, MC2 reveals that she is a ghost writer for a western genre author, and that she and her story partner always try to give accurate and honest portrayals of some historical wrongdoings in the stories. The truth, integrity, and factuality is always significant to the novels, and to them as authors.
The friendship of the MCs grows, even though they are now separated by at least a thousand miles, but they learn to trust in and rely upon, and support each other though a few struggles. The relationship has several complications, mostly from the ex-wife, and some situations get out of hand a few times. Through it all, the MCs stand by each other, and they have started to fall in love. (The above paragraphs tie well together into their story, but I don't want to give anything away.)
The book will hopefully have a sequel. The messages of body positivity, resilience, learning to enjoy life, and resisting to choose alcohol to help cope with difficult situations make a major impact on MC1. It's so important to read about characters like us that can overcome odds and get a second chance - even later in life. The characters are real, the story is well-written, and it feels like it's only the beginning of their story.
A must read.
