Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months—ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m thirty-five years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity.
But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me.
Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up. She’s willed me the keys to a house in the burbs, of all places, and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I’ve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and I’m ready to fight for my life again.
Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.
There are forty-seven separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I’m surprised no one’s “accidentally” torched the house yet. I want to, and I’ve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then my hot, grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and I’m just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do ever again.
First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine can’t conquer.

REVIEW: Thank you so much to Valentine PR for a copy of this book. This book was a literal breath of fresh air. I loved every word of this book and I just couldn't get enough. Our main character Mallory is a mess and a half but in a way that she need to be to move on with her life. I think one of my favorite things about this book was that there was no "best friend" character. Mallory was mostly , with the help of a wide cast of other secondary characters, left to her own devices and having to figure things out for herself. I can relate to her so much. I know how it feels to block your own happiness because you think every guy is a douche-canoe with an agenda. The banter is great. The chemistry practically leaps off the page. There is a bit of spice so this book is definitely an 18 and up read. I definitely give this book a million stars and I will never be able to look at The Lord of the Rings the same ever again. #iykyk
