Charming, but somewhat boring small town community book. It began promising with the disappearance of Lily’s husband. She seems to accept this without too much trouble as she moves on to become a hairdresser in a small town of older women. I wish their relationships had developed more and to a purpose, but instead it was simply a predictable romance with Rose’s nephew. And that is literally it.

What do you do when you lose everything, Lily wakes up to learn that her husband has left and wants a divorce. Since he left she also has to move out of her apartment. While Lily is reeling from the change, she finds a notice for a hair stylist position in an adult community. When she applies she meets Rose. Rose is a hard person to read and get to know, however she feels a connection to Lily and hires her, which comes with an apartment above the salon.
Soon Lily is opening and meeting all the occupants of the community, and is feeling a sense of community. Including Rose's nephew Rawlins. Rawlins is a single dad who is also starting over.
Through their friendships they are learning to lean on friends, be open to new experiences and people, and giving chances to what comes into your life.
I received a free copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
