Evvie Drake Starts Over - Linda Holmes

Recommended by Wynne

in response to Linda

Give me a book recommendation that is NOT harrowing, devastating, or heartbreaking. The world is too sad already. Any genre! Although I tried the fairy porn and it isn’t really for me.

This book is pretty much perfect. It’s cozy and sweet, but has some depth to it too. And it takes place in Maine which just adds to the magic. I’ve read it twice and have made it my go to rec for anyone who needs a pick-me-up. I’ve sent it to several friends who were going through a hard time. Linda Holmes is a delight and I really recommend her book Back After This as well though I’d say that one is more of a true romance.

A lovely book! I know Linda from Pop Culture Happy Hour. I’ve stolen her signature phrase ‘not for Lindas’ to use when a book/show/movie is not to my taste
