I was choking on my laughter
I made the mistake of reading this book during my breaks at work. I then had to explain to all my coworkers why I was choking on my laughter: Ethan and Emmaline and their outlandish family and friends. Take my mistake as your warning that this may not be the best choice of story to read in public Unless, you’ll be doing so around people who are already used to you cackling like a hyena for no reason they can see. (My coworkers don’t know me quite that well yet.) But I digress. You may have been waiting for this book under its original title: “Everything's Fine, Emmaline”. Rest assured that it was well worth the wait, and it’s now spinning out from the original Mommy Wars series with a somewhat expanded cast list. But we haven’t said “goodbye” to all the originals, and you may notice one or two trying to keep Em and Ethan on track. Really, I felt like these two needed all the help they could get. Part of what I love most about fake relationship stories is that you know that no matter how hard the couple in question fights it, there’s going to be real feelings for them to deal with before it’s all over. And that’s where all that help was needed for these two. They’re both a little gun shy about relationships, and just about the whole cast has some pretty heavy emotional baggage to unpack. Yet they do it, showing us that even if life isn’t a cakewalk, it can still be fun – and worth it. Now that we’ve had a chance to meet Em’s besties, I can’t wait to see what stories might be in their futures.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book from the author through WordSmith Publicity.
