Andrews (Spring Fever, 2012, etc.) presents a delightful novel about love, revenge and more love. Lifestyle blogger Grace Davenport Stanton is required to attend divorce group counseling sessions after driving her husband's expensive Audi into their swimming pool in a fit of rage. But who can blame her for acting out? Worried about her husband's whereabouts, Grace discovers Ben and her very nude and much younger assistant, J'Aimee, in a compromising position in the front seat of the car. After her tirade, Grace finds herself living in her mother Rochelle's apartment above the family-owned bar; attending divorce counseling sessions mandated by Judge Cedric Stackpole; and, thanks to Ben, unable to access her blog and bank accounts. Forced to begin anew, Grace creates another blog, kicks into high gear taking on a renovation project, which she shares with her readers, and rescues an abandoned dog. She also bonds with fellow members of the divorce group over drinks at the bar, where they share their stories: Camryn, the take-no-prisoners television reporter; Ashleigh, the self-absorbed second wife of a plastic surgeon; Suzanne, a quiet and secretive teacher; and Wyatt, the only male of the group, who has a young son, an aging parent and a dying business to care for. While Grace and Camryn investigate their suspicions about the court-ordered sessions and their group facilitator, she and Wyatt become involved in a sometimes-rocky romance. The main characters are challenged by several misunderstandings, a couple of near-disasters and loads of obstacles. The author provides a wonderful blend of action, repartee and offbeat characters in a just-plain-fun story. Humorous and witty and as entertaining as a good night out.]] Copyright Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.

When Grace catches her husband cheating with her assistant, she drives his fancy sports car into their pool. She files for divorce, and the judge orders her to attend a divorce recovery therapy group. She starts a relationship with the one man in the group, Wyatt, but since they are both on the rebound, it's not always smooth sailing. There is also something amiss with their therapist and the judge who ordered them to attend. Listeners who enjoy books about cheating husbands and getting revenge on them may like this light read, but Grace is too naive, and some of the scenarios are unrealistic. It may have been more enjoyable in print; Kathleen McInerney's narration makes everyone in this book sound like a whiny teenager. Verdict Not recommended. Suggest Andrews's other titles, such as Savannah Breeze, instead. ["Set on Florida's Gulf Coast, featuring sunsets and walks by the water, Andrews's latest beach read (after Spring Fever) will have great appeal for readers who enjoy stories of women rebuilding their lives, with the support of other women. Add in a dog, a sweet little boy, hilarious stories of women getting revenge, and romance, and it's a vacation escape," read the much more positive review of the New York Times best-selling St. Martin's hc, LJ 5/15/13.-Ed.]-Susie Sharp, Eddy-New Rockford Lib., ND (c) Copyright 2013.

Grace Stanton runs such a successful lifestyle blog that her husband, Ben, quit his job and works with her. When Ben cheats on her, Grace drives his car into the swimming pool. Now she is living above her mother's Florida bar, the Sandbox, and attending a court-assigned therapy group. But instead of therapy, Grace and the other women end up at "Ladies Night" at the Sandbox, discussing the therapist who seems to have her own problems. Even as Grace finds a little house to fix up, and a man with his own marriage problems, she can't escape the mess she left behind. VERDICT Set on Florida's Gulf Coast, featuring sunsets and walks by the water, Andrews's latest beach read (after Spring Fever) will have great appeal for readers who enjoy stories of women rebuilding their lives, with the support of other women. Add in a dog, a sweet little boy, hilarious stories of women getting revenge, and romance, and it's a vacation escape.
