On the Road to Love by Melissa Baldwin

funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

I was gifted an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you @rachelsrandomresources

This was a super easy going, fun romance book with some laughs & adventures thrown in.
It follows Stacy, a successful accountant based in New York, whose husband blindsides her with a completely out of the blue divorce. After months of coming home everyday to her too big empty house, & with none of her “friends” really making an effort with her anymore, she decides to head back home to Florida for a holiday. When her mum sends her an old picture of her two childhood best friends, Stacy decides to try reconnecting, & invite them along with her.....& it doesn’t quite go to plan.
This was a really great look at connecting old friendships, whilst also not being afraid to say goodbye to fake friends & toxic people in your life. I really liked the resilience shown by Stacy for overcoming a divorce & moving on with her life. I also adored her mum 😂😂 
My drawbacks were that the romance felt too instant love for me, I wasn’t really feeling Stacy & Gavin’s connection but it was sweet to read about.
A book I can imagine curling up by the pool one summer to read
