Are you about to go on vacation and are looking for some lighthearted reading to add to your Kindle (or tablet)? You might just want to add Cloudy with a Chance of Love by Fiona Collins if you want a laugh, some whimsy, and romance.
Daryl is newly divorced, thanks to her ex-best friend Gabby who decided that she rather liked Daryl’s husband, Jeff, more than she liked being Daryl’s best friend. So what does a newly single woman do on a Sunday evening to celebrate her divorce? She goes out with her best friend, Sam, throws her wedding ring into a fountain, and drinks a tad more than would be advisable.
The next day Sam persuades Daryl to try out a fortune-telling app that says that Daryl will fall in love by Friday. This is a beginning of a madcap week in which Daryl explores what it means to be a forty-something woman, new (again) to the dating scene, and how things have changed.
This week really needed a read like Cloudy with a Chance of Love. While the novel took a bit longer to read than it should have (my fault; too many things happening), I never felt any dreariness about returning to it. Fiona Collins writes in such an entertaining way that you feel like you are along for a fun ride. There are many wacky, laugh-out-loud moments. Great Escapism!
I really liked the character of Daryl. She’s funny, self-deprecating, a little kooky, but with a strong sense of self that enables her to know what she deserves. She comes to realizations that make her an admirable heroine.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
