I can't even find the words to review this book. Just read it! It was so realistic; I could really identify with Pru, unlike most heroines she seemed down to earth, just as precarious as the rest of us. The story was amazing, sweet and honest at once. I took my time reading it, trying to drag it out even longer because the characters were so endearing, I wanted to stay in their world as long as possible.

I just finished reading this book and fell in love with it! The main character was so realistic and approachable, I just loved her and rooted for her. She is supported by a lovely, quirky bunch of characters - from her loser boyfriend to her might be love interest, gay friends, rootless sister and countless other minor characters who each contribute in their own way. I loved watching the main character drift through her life until her purpose became clear. I felt like she really made some show more realistic choices and the novel was so fun to read. I would HIGHLY recommend this to someone looking for a good weekend title or a fun beach read. show less

This book really surpassed my expectations. I had never heard of the author before, so it was a crapshoot. Well, it turned out to be a pleasant mix of Anne Tyler and Katherine Center (author of The Bright Side of Disaster). Although the protagonist, Pru, was not always perfectly likeable, she was well drawn, memorable, and interesting. In other words, like a real person. The romance in the book was also pitch-perfect. Recommended.

Nice To Come Home To was ok - a little formulaic (single woman, biological clock ticking, gay best friend, jerk ex boyfriend, jealous of her sister, meets guy , loses guy, happy ending) but its a reasonable read and the characters were well drawn. I found Pru's overthinking a little tedious at times and never really warmed to her character that much.Still it was ok.
