Book Summary:
Rules are made to be broken—especially for love, right?
Lucy Marshall has hit rock bottom. After failing to succeed as a single mom in Atlanta, she’s back home and moving in with her older brother, Drew. Reconnecting with her support system is the right thing to do, but Lucy can’t help but feel like a failure. Her four-year-old son deserves the world, and all she can give him is a spare bedroom. But Drew is the sweetest uncle, and some quality time might be exactly what they both need to start fresh. That is until she meets Cooper, her brother’s incredibly hot best friend.
When Drew senses something between the two of them, he puts his foot down on any shenanigans. According to him, Cooper is everything Lucy should stay away from: flirtatious, adventurous, and especially noncommittal. But Lucy has been getting the opposite impression so far; Cooper is a genuinely great guy, and she’s starting to catch real feelings.
Her whole life, Lucy has tried to do everything right, and look where that’s gotten her—so what if she were to try something wrong?
My Review:
My absolute favorite thing in a book is a witty internal dialogue, and Lucy had it in spades! I am already a fan of Sarah Adams, but if I wasn’t, this would have solidified her place on my must-buy list. Between how tooth-achingly sweet Cooper was and the slapstick methods of avoidance Lucy employed to hide her infatuation with him, I sped through this book. If you loved The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams, I highly recommend this as your next read.
I will warn that I started Book 2 (The Temporary Roomie) immediately after with the same high-energy, belly-shaking laughter expectations, and so far it hasn’t had the same impact. So if you read that one first, don’t let it discourage you from diving into this one!

About the Book Author
Sarah Adams
Born and raised in Nashville TN, Sarah Adams loves her family, warm days, and making people smile.
Sarah has dreamed of being a writer since she was a girl, but finally wrote her first novel when her daughters were napping and she no longer had any excuses to put it off.
Sarah is a coffee addict, a British history nerd, a mom of two daughters, married to her best friend, and an indecisive introvert. Her hope is to always write stories that make you laugh, maybe even cry; but always leave you happier than when you started reading.
