About this listen

Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months - ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough-ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m 35 years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity.

But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me.

Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up again. She’s willed me the keys to a house in the burbs of all places and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I’ve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note), and I’m ready to fight for my life again.

Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.

There are 47 separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I’m surprised no one’s “accidentally” torched the house yet. I want to, and I’ve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then, my grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and I’m just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do.

First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine can’t conquer. Well, unless it’s your hot neighbor.

Beautiful 😍

I loved it, the story and performance as well.
it was pure and awesome. this is a captivating novel that swept me away with its delightful blend of humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. The characters are charming, the plot is engaging, and the witty dialogue keeps you hooked from start to finish. A perfect escape into the world of love and care—I couldn't put it down!

Waste of precious reading time

it was so frustrating to try to finish this😣
The narration is so slow, the FMC is so annoying and the book doesn't have any redeeming qualities. The first half of the book is her just being a doormat and letting anyone do and say whatever they want. The second wasn't much better either.
Just no, skip this one
