Wow! I LOVED this book! Libby was such a relatable character and it made me feel like this could be the story of myself or one of my closest friends. Marriage is hard work to keep that spark alive and I don’t know anyone who has been married for more than 10 years that hasn’t felt the same way. The writing was invigorating and emotional and it made me physically feel! That is when a good book becomes great! Do not miss the opportunity to read this one, you will not be disappointed! ( )

This is such a poetic look at life. Because life is not guaranteed, we should all treat life as if it is limited rather than limitless.

Libby's life isn't easy and as she feels things starting to fall apart, she decides a reset is in order. But even her opportunity for resetting is fret with disaster. But sometimes, the answers to life's questions are wrapped in neat little bows, just like this one.

I just loved everything about this book. ( )

Storms, the literal variety, and the symbolic type, as in tempestuous relationships, mid-life crises, and health challenges, are the premises of this story. Catastrophes, big and small, force Libby to reassess her life, marriage, and parenting style. She misses her parents and slowly realizes that she should adopt some of their simple words of wisdom and ageless advice to manage her struggles with her twin daughters, Isa and Charlotte.

As she celebrates being ten years cancer-free, Libby is questioning whether Shiloh, her second husband, is still in love with her. She learns that her twin brother Paul is divorcing his husband, Charlie. Her career becomes rocky when Rupi, an employee at the Foundation she founded, suggests changes that seem to be at odds with its mission. Charlotte, one of her twelve-year-old daughters, is struggling with diabetes management. She turns to her friend and surrogate parent, Milagros, for support. Although she receives appropriate support and age-old advice, like what she attained during her formative years, Libby struggles to accept it. Libby has difficulty changing her views until a series of events forces some serious consternation and reflection about communication and its inherent value in relationships.

*Small Spoilers*
I liked where this one was going - a woman who was wondering why she wasn't more excited to learn that she's hit the mark of 10 years cancer-free. But.... 7% in and the token gay male character shows up. *Le sigh* I'm just not interested in reading further at that point. No judgements being made here, but some women I know don't read books with male main characters, some women I know don't read books written by male authors, some people don't read books if they don't like the cover art or if they contain the color blue... whatever their reason is, that's totally fine. This is the point I'm out. Sharing in case it helps other readers. No judgements made or discussions solicited. ( )

A quick beach read. However, you are supposed to read book 2. Felt like this was part of a series. Always annoying ( )
