First, let me tell you that I received this book as a Goodreads first reads. I'm so glad I did.

Rhenna Morgan titled the book What Janie Wants, but it could easily be "What (Insert your name here) Wants. This is a fantastic tale in which an older, recently divorced,not very confident woman, Janie, is on an "escape" vacation arranged by Janie's sister Emmy. As she enters the resort to check in, she meets Zade, a young man who has also recently had an upheaval in his life. Let's just say that most women and guys wouldn't envy the way they met, but it is memorable.

During the course of the stay, Janie and Zade have to decide exactly what they want out of the next part of their lives, and how much they are willing to put themselves out to achieve their desires. The age difference is a big obstacle in Janie's mind, so quite a bit of the book is devoted to that part of the story.

In the end, though, they do help each other immensely, and I loved that and the romance.

Definitely recommend this book.
