And their gloves.
Can you defrost some sausages?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This touching and profound novel about a woman reliving the worst Monday of her life over and over again reminds us to treasure the little moments in life. When overworked mom Emma loses her husband, Dan, in an accident following a colossally terrible day, she ends up repeating that same day from the beginning in an endless, Groundhog Day–style loop. As Emma strives to find the perfect combination of actions and words to provide a happy outcome for her family and friends—while setting much-needed boundaries in the rest of her life—author Cesca Major gets to the marrow of the constant anxiety of living in today’s world. We loved discovering the many ways that Emma reconnects with important people and cuts ties with toxic ones. With tons of relatable characters and situations, Maybe Next Time is a fast-paced, cathartic look at the many possible outcomes of saying what we truly think.
Customer Reviews
Maybe Next Time
I have never read a book like this. What a unique way to work through problems, balance family/friends and work/home, and live through grief. PD
Long winded
I felt like it was never going to end and it took forever to get to the point. A lot of repeated information.
Wanted to love it
The message is sound. The means for getting the message across is frustrating and not believable.
