Synopsis: When an advice
columnist’s picture-perfect life implodes, she opts to go rogue in this
hilarious, heartwarming romance from the author of Meet Me in Paradise.
Violet
Covington pens Dear Sweetie, the most popular advice column in the
state of North Carolina. She has an answer for how to politely handle
any difficult situation…until she discovers her husband, Sam, has been
cheating on her. Furious and out of sensible solutions, Violet leaves
her filter at the door and turns to her column to air her own
frustrations. The new, brutally honest Dear Sweetie goes viral, sending
more shock waves through Violet’s life. When she burns Sam’s belongings
in a front-yard, late-night bonfire, a smoking-hot firefighter named Dez
shows up to douse the flames, and an unexpected fling quickly shows
potential to become something longer lasting.
A lot of people
want to see the old polished Violet return—including her boss, who finds
her unpredictability hard to manage, and Sam, who’s begging for another
chance. But Dez appreciates Violet just the way she is—in fact, he
can’t get enough of her. The right answers don’t come easily when Violet
finds herself at her own personal crossroads. But maybe, by getting
real, Violet can write her own happy ending. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This was fun! I had a good time reading this. Violet is a woman who has had her heart broken, and she's not thinking 100% rationally. She turns her advice column job into a personal venting page. She then burns a bunch of her cheating husband's stuff, which gets a certain firefighter named Dez involved. It was a crazy ride and I liked it.
