Two Thirty-Somethings Need to Start Living

Ellen and Unity have been friends since childhood. Due to life events, they’re both single in their thirties. Ellen is a single mother who has raised her son, Cooper, alone. Unity is a widow of three years. Still in love with her husband, she can’t move on.

Times begin to change when Ellen hears Cooper telling a friend that he worries about going to college because his mother needs him. Unity is resistant to change, she realizes there’s a problem when she gets kicked out of her grief counseling group. They each make a list of things the want to do to change. Trying to complete the tasks on the list makes for amusing scenes.

This is a character driven book. The plot is entertaining and the dialog often wonderfully witty. The characters, including the men in the book, are realistic. You may not love them. I found Unity quite annoying at times, but because the story line is clever, this is a hard book to put down.

I received this book from Harlequin for this review.
