dumpster fire
noun
1. an utterly calamitous situation
2. mismanagement for the ages
3. something very difficult no one wants to deal with
4. Rob Hansen
Rob was single.
That hadn’t been the plan. But it turned out that his plan wasn’t immune to car accidents. It couldn’t stave off death, couldn’t stop bad things from happening.
Now Carmella—his wife, his best friend, the other half of his heart—was gone. And she’d been gone long enough for the tendrils of loneliness to creep in, for him to risk dipping his toe back into the dating world. The only problem was that dating was a hell of a lot different in this world than when he’d been in college.
He wasn’t good at apps and profiles, his banter skills were rusty, and his flirting . . . well, some might say it was atrocious.
Then came high, high heels.
Then came a sharp voice with an impressive repertoire of curse words.
Then came a woman who was definitely not Carmella . . . but who might be the possibility of something more.
About the Author:
USA Today bestselling author, Elise Faber, loves chocolate, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and hockey (the order depending on the day and how well her team—the Sharks!—are playing). She and her husband also play as much hockey as they can squeeze into their schedules, so much so that their typical date night is spent on the ice. Elise changes her hair color more often than some people change their socks, loves sparkly things, and is the mom to two exuberant boys.
She lives in Northern California. Connect with her in her Facebook group, the Fabinators or email her at elisefaberauthor@gmail.com.

This was an interesting book and I wanted to read it because I loved Rob when he was in the first book in the series, (I did not read the second book in the series yet). But he was really different in this book. In the previous book he comes across as a fun guy who is a widower but who is trying to move on.
In this book he is very stuck in the past and he has no clue how to move on. In fact he is close to suicidal when he meets Sophie and when he walks infront of her car late at night, drunk at the cementary where his wife is buried. Later she calls her friend in town, Finn, to help her move him and Finn tells her its his buddy Rob who is distraught about losing his wife. His house is filled with his wife as if she still lived there as well.
Sophie understands his pain but she also feels very stuck in the past as well, her story is very tragic and awful and get ready for a few tears for her history. When Rob finally is ready to move on, he wants to with her but her pain and past makes it hard to move on. This story is about learning from the past and not forgetting but also moving forward and making a choice to live rather than to give up on life, love and living.
Sophie was an awesome character and I loved her and Rob I grew to love as he tried to move on and find a new love. This is not a light read book but more of a serious book about letting go of the past, not forgetting but also that to live you have to move forward.
