About the Book:

Where one life ends, another is revealed.

Liz Evans is setting out on a cross-country road trip, with her grandmother’s cat, to carry out her grandmother’s final wishes. However, she’s about to learn that the coupon clipping woman who raised her was actually a wealthy, Hollywood icon who had her share of international lovers.

Mark Watts is only one of the secrets Liz’s grandmother kept from her. A biographer, he resides in Liz’s grandmother’s Palm Beach home, which Liz knew nothing about. As her guide into her grandmother’s past, Mark becomes a confidant, a friend, and more.

Though Liz’s journey is to learn about her grandmother, she finds these lessons turn inward. Content with her life of solitude, Liz is challenged to live a big fat life with no regrets–which just might include a crazy cat, a house in Palm Beach, and a man.

My Review:

I knew I had some busy weeks with not a lot of sit down and read time, so I grabbed this one on audio, and I am so glad I did. 

This wonderful story, full of loveable characters, made a day of running errands and chores fly by. If you enjoy stories of family secrets and learning from the past, with some light romance added in, this should go on your TBR. I especially enjoy road-trip stories and stories where characters like Liz overcome their fears with the support of friends. 

This is a heartwarming novel that deals with big feelings of loss and anxiety and understanding, but the author handles each with such care and compassion that I couldn’t stop listening – I had to know what happened. There are also some wonderfully funny moments sprinkled in just the right places (if you’re a cat lover, there is a most excellent cat!). Enjoy!
