BLURB

Beverly is a fifty-something mom of three grown-up boys and a love for all things related to The Beatles. She lost her husband a decade ago and her best friend persuades her to dip her toes in the shark-infested waters of online dating. After a few disasters, could it be that she finally found a good man?

MY THOUGHTS

That had to be one of the best and funniest first chapters ever. And it set the tone for the rest of the book. The story is told from Beverly’s perspective, almost as if she is telling you her tale or you’re reading her diary. I’m not a huge Beatles fan myself, but I can certainly appreciate Beverly’s passion for the band and everything related to them.

Beverly is content, but she misses having a man in her life. Thus, the forays into the dating world. Some of her relationship details in the middle weren’t all that interesting, but it made sense later on and played an important part in setting up the story. Beverly had a lot to contend with and she didn’t always handle things in a graceful way, but I think we all have crazy moments at times. She didn’t wallow for long and she didn’t take herself too seriously.

This book elicited so many emotions from me. I dipped between laughter, anger, sadness, frustration, contentment. Up and down I went with Beverly on this crazy ride.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
