When she promised her elderly best friend that she\u2019d reunite her with the woman she fell in love with nearly eighty years ago, she never imagined that would mean traveling from D.C. to Key West with three tablespoons of Mrs. Nash\u2019s remains in her backpack. But Millie\u2019s determined to give her friend a symbolic happily-ever-after, before it\u2019s (really) too late\u2014and hopefully reassure herself of love\u2019s lasting power in the process.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">She just didn\u2019t expect to have a\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">living<\/span>\u00a0travel companion.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">After a computer glitch grounds flights, Millie is forced to catch a ride with Hollis Hollenbeck, an also-stranded acquaintance from her ex\u2019s MFA program. Hollis certainly does\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">not<\/span>\u00a0believe in happily-ever-afters\u2014symbolic or otherwise\u2014and makes it quite clear that he can\u2019t fathom Millie\u2019s plan ending well for anyone.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">But as they contend with peculiar bed-and-breakfasts, unusual small-town festivals, and deer with a death wish, Millie begins to suspect that her reluctant travel partner might enjoy her company more than he lets on. Because for someone who supposedly doesn\u2019t share her views on romance, Hollis sure is becoming invested in the success of their journey. And the closer they get to their destination, the more Millie has to admit that maybe this trip isn\u2019t just about Mrs. Nash\u2019s love story after all\u2014maybe it\u2019s also about her own.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_rul3696 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_u9e1696  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25880 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-diamond-banner-1-2.png?resize=296%2C72&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> May 23, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><blockquote class=\"quotes\"><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cMaybe his relationship with Vanessa wasn\u2019t that different from mine with Josh- just shorter-lived and longer ago.

A lot of mishaps happen along the way when she teams up with cynical writer Hollis Hollenbeck to reunite the two long-lost lovers, and she is determined to prove to him that true love really does exist.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I absolutely loved this quirky story! It\u2019s unique, and unlike anything else I have ever read before. Silly and lovable Millicent was a perfect match for grumpy and gruff <strong>Hollis<\/strong>. Their connection was utterly adorable, and their banter was immensely entertaining. It kept me reading long into the night. I greatly enjoyed not only Millicent and Hollis\u2019s relationship but also that of Millicent and Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Nash and Elsie. Mrs. Nash was there for Millicent during a very difficult time in her life, and they became close friends when she moved in with her. I appreciated the way Millicent felt loyal to Mrs. Nash and continued with this mission to reunite her with her Elsie even after she passes away. The relationship that they had was special. Overall, this was just a super fun read, and I am excited to read more by Sarah Adler!<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re a fan of funny and quirky stories like those of <strong>Claire Kingsley<\/strong> and <strong>Pippa Grant<\/strong>, then give this a try.

When she promised her elderly best friend that she\u2019d reunite her with the woman she fell in love with nearly eighty years ago, she never imagined that would mean traveling from D.C. to Key West with three tablespoons of Mrs. Nash\u2019s remains in her backpack. But Millie\u2019s determined to give her friend a symbolic happily-ever-after, before it\u2019s (really) too late\u2014and hopefully reassure herself of love\u2019s lasting power in the process.<br \/><br \/>She just didn\u2019t expect to have a\u00a0living\u00a0travel companion.<br \/><br \/>After a computer glitch grounds flights, Millie is forced to catch a ride with Hollis Hollenbeck, an also-stranded acquaintance from her ex\u2019s MFA program. Hollis certainly does\u00a0not\u00a0believe in happily-ever-afters\u2014symbolic or otherwise\u2014and makes it quite clear that he can\u2019t fathom Millie\u2019s plan ending well for anyone.<br \/><br \/>But as they contend with peculiar bed-and-breakfasts, unusual small-town festivals, and deer with a death wish, Millie begins to suspect that her reluctant travel partner might enjoy her company more than he lets on. Because for someone who supposedly doesn\u2019t share her views on romance, Hollis sure is becoming invested in the success of their journey. And the closer they get to their destination, the more Millie has to admit that maybe this trip isn\u2019t just about Mrs. Nash\u2019s love story after all\u2014maybe it\u2019s also about her own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-diamond-banner-1-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> May 23, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cMaybe his relationship with Vanessa wasn\u2019t that different from mine with Josh- just shorter-lived and longer ago.

A lot of mishaps happen along the way when she teams up with cynical writer Hollis Hollenbeck to reunite the two long-lost lovers, and she is determined to prove to him that true love really does exist.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I absolutely loved this quirky story! It\u2019s unique, and unlike anything else I have ever read before. Silly and lovable Millicent was a perfect match for grumpy and gruff <strong>Hollis<\/strong>. Their connection was utterly adorable, and their banter was immensely entertaining. It kept me reading long into the night. I greatly enjoyed not only Millicent and Hollis\u2019s relationship but also that of Millicent and Mrs. Nash and Mrs. Nash and Elsie. Mrs. Nash was there for Millicent during a very difficult time in her life, and they became close friends when she moved in with her. I appreciated the way Millicent felt loyal to Mrs. Nash and continued with this mission to reunite her with her Elsie even after she passes away. The relationship that they had was special. Overall, this was just a super fun read, and I am excited to read more by Sarah Adler!<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re a fan of funny and quirky stories like those of <strong>Claire Kingsley<\/strong> and <strong>Pippa Grant<\/strong>, then give this a try.
