I just finished listening to Brighter than Before by Courtney Walsh. If you need a good, hope filled story, you have to pick this one up.
Claire, is 46 and an empty nester. After her husband's highly public cheating scandal, she leaves her country club life in Denver behind. She moves to Chicago and gets an apartment and tackles a "Checklist of Fears" from her therapist to reinvent her life. This includes confronting her comfort zone by starting her own baking business.
Her neighbor and landlord, Miles, is a highlight of her life. He has sworn off committed relationships but steps up to support her dreams when she doesn't believe in herself.
The relationship between Claire and her daughter, Minnie, who is studying abroad in London, is very special. Minnie actually takes over her mom’s online dating profile and teams up with Miles to filter out suitors and hand pick her dates. This leads to some of the most hilariously disastrous first dates I've ever read, but through every single flop, Miles there to comfort and encourage her.
The book gives you the perfect clean ending with complete closure, proving it is never too late to get out of your comfort zone and find yourself.
Patti Murin’s narration is great. She handles the quick witted banter perfectly and does an amazing job with Miles's voice. I recommend this one for anyone who wants a sweet, wholesome romance with actual emotional depth.
Thank you, NetGalley, Thomas Nelson Fiction, and the author Courtney Walsh and Patti Murin, narrator for the book review consideration. All opinions are my own.
