Second chances….
Liz is neurodivergent, quiet, and likes to keep to herself while her husband, Tobin is gregarious and sociable. At her thirteenth birthday party, she decides it is time to make a change in her life after being mistaken for a server and not the birthday girl. Her solution is to move out of their home and in with her sister, work on herself, and take an improv class. She wants to work on her confidence which is a worthy thing to do but I did find some of her actions to be a little abrupt and dramatic. What happened to communication? Okay, okay, that is one of the things Liz needs to address.
The tips on improv were fantastic and applied to relationships as well. I loved these tips and the messages that were shared. While I appreciated the emphasis on Liz’s desire to make changes and her bravery in doing so, the conflict at work and home didn’t work for me. It is obvious that Liz and Tobin have things they need to work on in their marriage, but I just had a hard time connecting with them.
I enjoy second chance romances, but this one didn’t work for me that way that I had hoped. What worked for me was Liz’s journey, her courage to make changes, her acceptance and realization of her own issues, and learning to speak up for herself was the best part of the book (besides the improv tips).
I had both the book and the audiobook and though the narrator of the audiobook did a fine job of bringing this book to life.
Others are enjoying this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.
