Emma is 365 days sober, which means she has the green light to start dating again (according to the program she’s been following). But socializing sober is unfamiliar and petrifying, and Emma has to overcome anxiety and self doubt. She feels a connection to Ben, who works in IT at her company, but she’s not sure he can put up with her crazy. Her relationship with her granola-crunchy alcoholic father is especially touching, as were some moments with her mom. Her sobriety program and alcoholism play a big part in the book, and sometimes it felt a little heavy handed to me how all-encompassing/repetitive it was, but all in all, this was a good read. (8)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
