In this dazzling debut, Lara Avery crafts a story about one woman's uplifting journey of possibility, second chances, and falling in love againβ¦with lifeβperfect for fans ofΒ P.S. I Love You.
Robin Lindstrom spent her first year as a young widow cocooned in the safe haven of the Minnesota farmhouse sheβd once shared with Gabe, the love of her lifeβthe man she thought sheβd be with βtil the end. But her world is turned upside down when she receives an email informing her that her late husband has enrolled in something called βBubblββa dating service.Β The app subscription lasts 12 months; use it!,Β Gabeβs message-from-the-grave reads.Β I donβt like the thought of you being alone. If you wonβt do it for yourself, do it as a favor to me.Β Please.
After twelve months of pulling herself together, Robinβs fragile equilibrium is knocked sideways. How couldΒ Gabe, of all people, be asking her to venture out into the murky waters of 21stΒ century online dating? As her underemployed brother, Theo, points out, itβs βonlyβ for a year, and itβs basically Gabe's last request.
And so Robin tentatively takes steps to put herself out into the world once more, even if it means awkward outings at bowling alleys, club-hopping with DJs she meets online, and stammering conversations at dinner. Along the way, sheβs surprised to find herself meeting new people, trying new thingsβ¦and even getting to know a new version of herself. Because everyone deserves a second chance at loveβand loving life.
