Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
Written by Linda Holmes, host of the NPR podcast “Pop Culture Happy Hour,” Evvie Drake Starts Over is a touching portrayal of a woman who wishes to get her life back on track after her husband dies on the day she decides to leave their marriage . Her journey towards contentment and happiness will resonate with readers of Fredrik Backman and other authors in the new “up lit” genre. I especially enjoyed the clever banter and well-developed relationship between Evvie and Dean Tenney, a former professional baseball player who has lost his greatest passion and also needs a reset on life. Crack open this wonderful book and lose yourself in Evvie and Dean’s journey.
