A GIRL'S GUIDE TO MOVING ON

A GIRL'S GUIDE TO MOVING ON is the first title I've read by Debbie Macomber, and it's definitely a promising start. The cover is gorgeous and reminds me so much of a girl's night in with cocktails and great conversations, which are like a soothing balm to your soul. Like the title suggests this story is a guide to help you move on. I think it's perfect for any type of moving on for everything from relationships to a dull life. The guide Nichole and Leanne use to move on after their divorces is a great idea and shows that having a basic plan does pay off. To-Do lists fanatics will love A GIRL'S GUIDE TO MOVING ON.

This being the first title by Debbie Macomber I've read, I must say I love the simple yet effective guide and the main protagonists are a refreshing pair: a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The plot of the story is beautiful. If only in real life mothers- and daughters-in-law could be this way. It is calming to read how the characters dealt with divorce and hoped for happiness in the future. The usual bitterness and cynicism that accompanies divorce and loss of confidence did not happen as it usually does. Sure there are low confidences, feelings of betrayal and being insufficient, but they are dealt with head on and patiently without losing the plot.

Rocco is dreamy and Nikolai, for his age, is definitely strong and adorable. If only second chances in reality were so promising and fulfilling, but that's what we have fiction for. A GIRL'S GUIDE TO MOVING ON definitely hit the right buttons on how a good, strong, and happy relationship should be. If you have had a break up recently or just want to get out of a rut, do pick up this beautiful story.

SUMMARY

In this powerful and uplifting novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber, a mother and her daughter-in-law bravely leave their troubled marriages and face the challenge of starting over. Leaning on each other, Nichole and Leanne discover that their inner strength and capacity for love are greater than they ever imagined. When Nichole discovers that her husband, Jake, has been unfaithful, the illusion of her perfect life is indelibly shattered. While juggling her young son, a new job, and volunteer work, Nichole meets Rocco, who is the opposite of Jake in nearly every way. Though blunt-spoken and rough around the edges, Rocco proves to be a dedicated father and thoughtful friend. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Jake wagers everything on winning Nichole backβ€”including their son Owen’s happiness. Somehow, Nichole must find the courage to defy her fears and follow her heart, with far-reaching consequences for them all. Leanne has quietly ignored her husband’s cheating for decades, but is jolted into action by the echo of Nichole’s all-too-familiar crisis. While volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language, Leanne meets Nikolai, a charming, talented baker from Ukraine. Resolved to avoid the heartache and complications of romantic entanglements, Leanne nonetheless finds it difficult to resist Nikolai’s effusive overturesβ€”until an unexpected tragedy tests the very fabric of her commitments. An inspiring novel of friendship, reinvention, and hope, A Girl’s Guide to Moving On affirms the ability of every woman to forge a new path, believe in love, and fearlessly find happiness.
