This story was not easy for me to read. I went through exactly what Julie did in losing her husband suddenly to a heart attack. Ms Reinhardt got the emotions of that situation spot on, from the overwhelming grief to just wanting to sleep all the time to deciding that it’s time to move on and live. From that point on this story is joyful and you can’t help but connect to Julie and want only the best for her.We met Julie in Nan Reinhardt’s book Once More From the Top and loved her then. Ms Reinhardt writes about real women who continue to just BE real women even after the age of 50 or more. I love her for that! I also loved that she is willing to admit that a younger man for Julie is not pervy and it’s the man who is right for the woman that is important, not their ages. Julie’s body image concerns are amplified by the fact that she’s a former model. Even beautiful bodies age, sag, and change over time, but they are still beautiful in a different way.This is a book full of romance, drama, humor, and most of all. Characters who reflect reality. Having read two books by Nan Reinhardt I am a fan and look forward to more books by this wonderful romance writer.
