I know it sounds crazy but meeting the love of your life in the waiting room of your divorce attorneys office is probably the last place on earth anyone would expect to find their soul mate. Anna is experienced in the divorce game and with two children and now a second divorce looming, she is facing her fear of the unknown. As a way to pass the time, she strikes up a conversation with a man in the waiting room of her divorce attorneys office. She paints herself as a childless young woman divorcing her mega rich husband rather than reveal the truth about herself: shes desperate, broke, has no marketable skills and needs a job desperately.
Anna gets a job as Nicks secretary (though he makes the tea better than she does) and it seems as their relationship has a lot of potential for something meaningful when their respective exes reappear.
I loved Anna and Nicks vulnerability. Even though both have been exceedingly unlucky in love, neither one is bitter or hateful. They are both looking for a happily ever after and havent shut themselves off to it happening. The author does an excellent job of showing the reader both Anna and Nicks point of view of what each is going through.
I especially loved seeing that Annas role as a mother isnt something she can hide that its a part of her soul. She unwittingly exposes this side of herself in a hilarious meat cutting scene that made me laugh so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
I liked the supporting characters, Annas children, Poppy and Connor, her best friend, Sophie, Nicks best mate, Sam. Nicks parents were very entertaining as well. For obvious reasons, I did not care for the ex-spouses at all and was frustrated when their reappearance complicated Nick and Annas relationship, though I had to respect Nick and Anna for wanting to do the right thing.
Overall, this was a very entertaining story that I highly recommend if you are looking for a feel good story with characters who arent perfect in looks or who are mega rich, but are human with all of the defects that brings.
