From the bestselling author of The Sunday List of Dreams and Annie Freeman’s Fabulous Traveling Funeral comes a poignant, funny, and uplifting novel of a woman at midlife whose search for happiness within her marriage—and within herself—turns a whole town upside down.
After twenty-eight years of marriage to her husband Lucky, Addy Lipton feels anything but happily married. In fact, just thinking of their garage, filled to the brim with Lucky’s useless junk collection, drives Addy dangerously close to plowing her car through it. But when Lucky wins a trip to paradise—aka Costa Rica—Addy has a faint hope they may be able to turn things around. Or maybe they won’t. Either way, Addy never gets the chance to find out.
On the morning of their departure, Lucky fractures his back tossing their luggage into his truck. Now, with the man she feels she barely knows anymore parked indefinitely on her couch, Addy can’t see their already shaky relationship surviving much longer. It’s time to make some big changes—and some drastic choices.
With the love and support of her devoutly single sister Hell and her workout friends, the Sweat-hers, Addy begins a crusade to revive her dreams—and she takes the women of Parker along for the ride. Soon the men will realize they’ll have to step up to the plate to keep their wives and lovers happy. And Addy will have to decide if the paradise she’s creating in Parker is big enough for two....
Filled with small-town characters and big-time soul searching, this sparkling and inspirational tale will hit you where you live—and show you that just as happiness can get buried beneath the jumble of years, it can be rediscovered…if you look hard enough for it within your heart.

I hae truly enjoyed Kris Radish's books over the years. Stories of strong women becoming empowered and finding their paths. But this one was just a waste of time. It was almost painful to read, and I found myself drifing off and away from the story.
Addy Lipton, the somewhat protagonist, is shakled to her husband Lucky, for whom the many years of marriage have anesthesized him into a lackluster existance governed by his overflowing garage, the Kingdom of Krap.
There is, of course, the straw that breaks Lucky's back and the couple retreat to their own worlds. The ending is very unsatisfactory, and if I had been Addy, I would have kicked Lucky to the curb long before this story ended. Radish needs to stick to stories of women.... let the guys fnd their own entertainment. This book was a total waste of time.

This book was just so-so. I felt so bad for Addy's husband Lucky. If I were him I would have run for the hills years ago. I felt no sympathy for her or the other women in that town at all. They seemed like a bunch of witches.
I think most of the people in this town could benefit from A.A. meetings. Someone could sneeze and these people would drink to it.

The main problem with this book was the unlikeable, unappealing female characters -- especially the main character, Addie. The author was never able to convince me that she was anything other than a selfish, spoiled crybaby.
I listened to the audiotape as I spend lots of time in the car. Otherwise, I wouldn't have finished the book which was way too long & repetitive.
Ms. Radish does, however, have a way with words & some of her descriptions were quite funny.

I tried to like this book, I really did. I just couldn't relate to that level of anger in Addy. I'm 28 years married, and sure he drives me crazy sometimes, but she needs to take some of the blame for letting it get to that point in their relationship. Maybe I won't be so aggravated if I finish the book? So little time to read and so many good books out there, I'm not sure it's worth the investment.

I have read most of Kris Radish's books but this one really disappointed me. It was very draggy in parts and almost too predictable in places. I finished it but it was really a chore.
