Romance novelist Jackie Mitchell has built a life that works: few responsibilities, friends that know she's far from outgoing, and sex whenever she needs it. She has her past, but she doesn't think about it. Ever. All that changes when she finds the child she gave up for adoption standing on the doorstep. Now sixteen years old, Beth Weber is resourceful, a blossoming artist, and a spitting image of her birth mom. To say Jackie is stunned is the understatement of the year. When Jackie meets Beth's adoptive mom, Susan, they're immediately attracted to each other, but there's no way Jackie is getting involved with a married woman, especially Beth's mom. But when Susan and Beth need a place to stay and end up back on Jackie's doorstep, their lives change forever. Will these three women who share a past and face an uncertain future be able to forge a life of love together? No library descriptions found. |

In this one Jackie is just having a regular sort of day, when a sixteen year old named Beth appears at her door in Florida. Beth is Jackie's birth daughter.
Jackie takes Beth home to Savannah (a la Emma and Henry) and meet's Beth's adoptive mother, Susan, and then Jackie goes home and thinks that's it.
It's not it. Susan and Beth wind up needing a place to stay urgently, and they go to Jackie.
And so she and Beth get to get closer, and, then Susan finds herself falling in love with Jackie too.
I liked the Susan/Jackie story enough, but, it was Beth's story in all its glory (and teenage angst) that I really connected with more. It reminded me of the crazy stuff that is running through teens heads at all times, or, at least the stuff that ran through my head on occasion. (Although, I'd like to point out that if Beth is 16 and this takes place in 2018 or 2019 then she is Generation Z not a Millennial (we used to be called Gen Y)).
Overall it was a helluva fun book, although the beginning of the end was a little flat I thought, but, all the journey before that was quite amazing.
I received this book via Netgalley thanks to Bold Strokes Books. (
