The Other Side of Forever by Norah Pritchard
5.0

Allie Hart heads back to her small hometown with her son after realizing that her marriage is just not working. Luckily, Davis Henderson is renting a house out to her, and as they start seeing each other every day, they start to develop some feelings. But with failed relationships running in Allie’s family and Davis having some baggage as well, can they move past it to make their own future?

Say hello to a new indie author FROM MY TOWN! The Other Side of Forever is based in Northfield, which was the name of the town we live in before it was changed - so it’s REALLY fun to see some local references. I was laughing and swooning, and really enjoyed the added element of single parents with kids. There’s also divorce, Type 1 Diabetes, and grumpy/sunshine present in this read, and all the tropes balance each other so well to create a really memorable small-town romance read. This book has QUITE the opening scene to hook you in fast, and there’s also an apple pie scene that will knock your socks off later in the book.

Read if you:
- love small-town settings
- enjoy the scene in Gilmore Girls where Lorelai shows up at Charleston in cutoffs and cowboy boots
- want to laugh and swoon in a read
- love a single dad trope
- are looking for a KU read!
