A Poignant and Humorous Journey of Self-discovery, Resilience, and Redemption Once, Julie dreamed of a life filled with love and laughter. Now, in her mid-forties, she faces a starkly different reality. She's single, lonely, and reeling from breaking her hard-earned sobriety in front of her family and friends. Opting for self-recovery over romance, Julie dives into planning her best friend Kate's wedding. However, sharing this task with the irritatingly cheerful best man, single dad Luke, proves to be an unexpected challenge. As Luke's persistent kindness chips away at her icy exterior, a friendship forms, stirring a longing she'd sworn to suppress. But with self-forgiveness as her biggest hurdle, and her past ready to sabotage her future, can Julie confront the shame and trauma that have darkened so much of her life and find the courage to love again? Or will her demons shatter both her and Luke's hearts in the process? Jamie Anderson, author of the hilarious and heartwarming Someone to Kiss, is back with another witty, acerbic, and relatable story. Love, Julie is a richly emotional tale of recovery, forgiveness, and romance that readers have praised for "nailing the humor and snarky nature of our generation."
