Establish - Hindsight, #1

Special news alert: life doesn't go according to plan-Just ask the Haven family. Epperly Haven, a college student yearning to enter the "real world, " has two goals: a) for her daydreams to become reality and b) to live somewhere other than Kansas City. She's not asking for the world, just the basics, like, her own personal rom-com complete with fabulous clothes and a Mr. Darcy. But so far, she's yet to establish a lifestyle, or even a reality, different from the one she's lived the past twenty-one years.
Her mother, Beth, hopes to establish a new life too, one free from anxiety and worrying what others think. Is one day without IBS medication or disapproving taunts from her sister too much to ask? Apparently so. The Gilmore Girl-type mother daughter relationship is tested when Epperly's father, Brian, lands in the hospital. Throw in the oddball extended family, neb-nose neighbors, and well-meaning (but-invasive) friends, and you have, well, real life.
Come join the rumbas. You're funny bone will be tickled and your heartstrings will be tugged. If you liked While You Were Sleeping, The Middle, Nora Ephron movies, Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove, or Sophia Kinsella's Shopaholic series, this book is for you. And if you didn't-well-still give it a try. The Haven Family has been thrown in a Yahtzee cup. Don't you want to know where they land?What Reader's are saying:Suzi M says, "Oh my gosh...amazing!!!!
