This was my first book by Mae Wood, and it won't be my last!

As I have gotten older, I find that my tastes in books have matured as well. Instead of reading young and new adult, I gravitate much more toward novels where the main characters are in their thirties and forties. With that in mind, This Time is Different, fell onto my TBR right away, and I couldn't wait to read it. And it did not disappoint. I loved that both characters were struggling with moving on from past relationships- for different reasons- as well as their children accepting this move. Amy and Thomas felt real, which is often the way that I connect with characters.

My only issue is that the end felt a bit rushed for me, or I needed a little more. But otherwise, this book was a hit for me and I can't wait to go back and read the other Pig & Barley books!

**Update** I have also finished the audio of This Time is Different and I must say, Sebastian York and Emma Wilder rocked this!
