Summary
Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months - ever since I caught my canโt-be-soon-enough-ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. Iโm 35 years old, and Iโve 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 whoโs ever gotten me.
Even after death, though, sheโs helping me get back up again. Sheโs willed me the keys to a house in the burbs of all places and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, Iโve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note), and Iโm 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, Iโm surprised no oneโs โaccidentallyโ torched the house yet. I want to, and Iโve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then, my grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and Iโm 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 canโt conquer. Well, unless itโs your hot neighbor.

Great story, well read
Loved the reading. The narratorโs voice is so important and this is an excellent example of how it should be done.
Really enjoyed the story, thought it sped up a bit too fast at the end though.

An Excellent read!
I loved the story and the characters, there are so many complex messages in the background as well.

Boring predictable
Not very good, the book was boring and predictable, not character development, the heroโs journey was not very satisfactory, disappointing

This was a great listen 3๐๐๐
I really enjoyed this listen, it was funny, believable & fiesty. It is about finding strength when you need it, family relationships and finding the one in chaos when you aren't looking, sometimes timing is everything!
This was a free listen in the Plus catalogue but it was a great listen and I totally recommend it.
