A wild, hilarious, feel‑good romp that had me grinning the whole way through! This book is an absolute hoot — completely wild, endlessly funny, and written with that lighthearted, wink‑at‑you style I love. The humor never lets up, even in the quieter moments.
June is recovering from a messy breakup after her ex literally threw her out of his apartment. With no real relationship with her mother, she heads to her grandmother Audrey’s house for a breather. They haven’t spent much time together over the years for reasons the book never explains, but right now? They’re having the time of their lives.
One night at the bar, June gets drunk, spills every detail about her ex, stumbles home with Audrey to sleep it off… to find a man passed out on the porch. Audrey, being Audrey, pokes him with the walking stick she keeps by the door — and up rises Aaron Porter, country‑rock star, gorgeous, sleepy, bearded, and very much in need of a bed. He begs for a place to crash and promises explanations later.
The next day, June and Audrey learn he’s done with touring, done with fame, and wants to live like a normal person in their tiny town. Burned out, exhausted, and craving connection, he runs straight to Audrey — who used to be his housekeeper and basically a bonus grandma — hoping she’ll give him a safe landing spot.
From there, the story becomes a delightful, rollicking adventure as Nash tries out every “normal person” activity he can find: knitting circle, meditation group, walking club, banned‑books club. He’s figuring out life in this quirky town with June and Audrey guiding him like two chaotic guardian angels.
And June? Oh, she is gone for him. Every time he walks around shirtless, she turns into a puddle. Every time he walks away, she’s admiring how well those jeans fit. She’s real, funny, giggly, and completely captivated — and he’s just as enchanted with her. Their fake relationship (to help him blend into the community) doesn’t stay fake for long, of course.
The town’s shenanigans, the gossip train, the colorful characters, and the endless community activities made me want to pack my bags and move there immediately. It’s cozy, chaotic, and full of heart.
Five stars for such a good time!
