Romance

Savannah "Van" Leone has been in love with Peter Clarke since their first day of college. Six years later, Peter is marrying Van's best friend, Janie. Loyal to a fault, Van dons her pumpkin-orange, maid-of- honor gown and stands up for the couple, struggling to hide her true feelings even when she couldn't be more conspicuous. After the wedding, nursing her broken heart with a Rin Tin Tin marathon plus a vodka chaser, Van accidentally orders a German Shepherd puppy over the Internet. When "Joe" turns out to be a hundred-pound beast who only responds to commands in Slovak, Van is at the end of her rope-until she realizes that sometimes life needs to get more complicated before it can get better.

Sounds like a very relatable book. I did almot the same thing, but acat adopted me on the very day of my heartbreak. "Out walks a man/child in walks a cat with an attitude!"

Cheers for your debut novel. You're right, sometimes what appears to be the worst thing to happen, opens a door to something even more exciting in life.
