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: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
