Blurb
Hi. I’m Birdie Lawson.
I used to run the PTA, plan polite birthday parties, and write thank-you notes on monogrammed stationery. Then my husband dropped dead in the butterfly garden, and my picture-perfect suburban life went with him.

If you, too, have a dead husband, questionable coping skills, and an inconvenient crush on your late husband’s infuriatingly hot ex-best friend who happens to be your mailman… pull up a chair. You’re one of us now.

The Dead Husbands Society
No dues. No dress code. Bring snacks. We’re tired of casserole.

Perks of membership:

Two wildly inappropriate widow friends, a pink glitter notebook full of grief dares (most dares include the hot mailman), and questionable recovery tactics.

I’m done with well-behaved mourning. Now I’m here for messy living—complete with a Conga line, an ill-advised goat wine bar, and forbidden late-night kisses with the man I should absolutely not want… but absolutely do.

Please join us. We have t-shirts and kombucha.

The Dead Husbands Society: A wickedly funny, unexpectedly sexy novel about grief, friendship, and letting yourself fall hard—for life, and your mailman, all over again.


MY REVIEW


Birdie has been without her husband for 2 years when she stumbles upon a post online that sparks up friendships, a group, with 2 new friends, all of whom are too going through their own grief at losing their husbands. Though they only know each other online, then through the phone, fast friendships are formed and ideas of grief dares are created to help Birdie, Viv, and Marin through their grief. It's because of one of those dares that Birdie's friendship with her husband's best friend, Noah, becomes something more. But is she really ready to finally step out of her routine and into love with someone that's not Owen? Especially with his best friend, someone who is also her own friend?


Poignant, funny, and heartfelt, Birdie, Marin, and Viv's journey is somehow relatable even though I've not lost my own husband. Reading their hilarious, snarky banter that turned tearful at the drop of a hat, I laughed with them, I teared up with them, and I sighed with them. And most of all, I loved with them. With Birdie as she rediscovered her love with Noah and remembered, cried, and kept her love with Owen, with Viv and Marin as they mourned their husbands and set out on their own journeys of life after loss, and with Harper and Matt as they struggled with losing their dad. This story of friendship, grief, and love is quite simply - beautiful, sweet, and will stay with me for a very long time.


Meet Adeline Aimes
Adeline Aimes writes romantic comedies that are funny, heartfelt, and a little messy—kind of like real life. They aren’t always centered on the man because romance is also about empowering, finding, and falling in love with yourself. When she’s not writing, she’s baking gluten-free sourdough, trying to keep her house plants alive, and reading spicy romance novels under a blanket she swore she didn’t need. She also feels funny writing about herself in the third person… So this took way longer to write than she’d like to admit ❤️

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
