Publisher's Summary
Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months - ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough-ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m 35 years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity.
But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me.
Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up again. She’s willed me the keys to a house in the burbs of all places and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I’ve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note), and I’m ready to fight for my life again.
Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.
There are 47 separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I’m surprised no one’s “accidentally” torched the house yet. I want to, and I’ve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then, my grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and I’m just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do.
First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine can’t conquer. Well, unless it’s your hot neighbor.

Really funny
I was surprised how much I loved this book. In many ways, it's the typical rom com story about a recent divorcee, but unlike most of these books, it's genuinely hilarious- and the narrator is equally hysterical, if not more so! I also found the book did I good, albeit surface and simplified, job of conveying the psychology damage being in emotionally abusive relationships (from parents to parents) can have on someone, specifically women. I thoroughly enjoyed this read!!

Couldn’t stop listening!
Was a great listen with humour, real life and just the right amount of vulgarity!

comfort read good character growth
I really enjoyed this book, I found the characters to be relatable and comforting! Nick is definitely a women's "build the perfect man" fixture character. that works for me.

Surprisingly addictive
I chose this book because I needed some relief in an easy read and found instead that it was very engaging, witty and hilarious. I didn't want it to end so I'm really hoping for a sequel.

Terrific
With the twists and turns well placed plot captures the listener in a sense of being a part of the story. The tone and inclination of the narrator makes the story that much more enjoyable. Awesome. 15⭐️
