And then there’s Naimh, rock throwing Irish woman that lives on the property as well. He would literally just pop up out of nowhere to help Jessie or tell her something nine times out of ten scaring the piss out of her in the process. Of course the old charmingly creepy house (known as “ Ivy House“) has an equally creepy, super old, cape wearing butler named Mr. I mean why the fuck not!? A butler, rent free, small little town, a house you unexplainably feel home in it’s perfect…. Now, Jessie loved this house since she was a child even though it was creepy as shit, she felt at ease there. So when her best friend told her that her family house needed a housekeeper, she said screw it and went for it. Unfortunately, staying with her parents as a grown ass woman wasn’t checking any boxes for her. She just got divorced, he son just went off to college and damn it, it’s time for her to think only about herself and have a little fun. When I read that the main character, Jessie, was a 40-year-old newly divorced woman I instantly wanted to use my audible credits for it and I was not disappointed. I find myself pretending that the main characters in YA books are older than what they are so I don’t feel old as fuck reading these books. However, being a 30-year-old woman it can be hard to relate to the angsty teen or even the 20-something-year-old finding their way. Let me start by suggesting that this book be listened to on audible because OH MY GOD it is so fucking hilarious, magical, adventurous and just down right great!!! I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.
A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever. Thankfully forty isn’t too old to start an adventure, because that’s exactly what I do. That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could’ve imagined. I’ll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I’m ready to carve my own path.Įager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. This time, though, I plan to do things differently.
But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that’s exactly what my life becomes. “Happily Ever After” wasn’t supposed to come with a do-over option. A cape wearing butler acting as the world’s worst life coach.
