Evvie Drake Starts Over

From the creator of the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast comes the most enjoyable, charming, and hopeful book of the year! Evvie Drake could not be more relatable, loveable, or endearing, but her husband—when he was alive, that is—did not see any of this. From the outside, Evvie’s life looked perfect. She married her high school sweetheart, a beloved doctor in their idyllic and sleepy hometown in coastal Maine. But the truth that even her best friend didn’t know was that her husband treated her like garbage, and Evvie had her bag packed and was walking out on her marriage. That is, until she got a call from the hospital notifying her that she was now a widow. Wrestling with her very complicated feelings, Evvie accepts a boarder to live in her back house, and he happens to be a former pitcher for the New York Yankees! Evvie Drake Starts Over has bumped any previous frontrunner and is now in the lead as my favorite summer read!
