Critics Review

Charming, hopeful and gently romantic. Evvie Drake is great company

Charming, hopeful and gently romantic. Evvie Drake is great company

A quirky, sweet, and splendid story of a woman coming into her own … an absolute delight

Holmes writes with an easy warmth about kind people who are trying their best but messing things up anyway… . A warm and lovely romance, perfect for readers of Rainbow Rowell and Louise Miller - Kirkus

A witty blend of romance and reflection … wraps you in the cozy warmth of small-town Maine and delves into the complexities of the human heart

I was utterly charmed by Evvie Drake Starts Over - a book that shows us that just because you’re broken doesn’t mean you can’t be put back together again. You’ll want to stay cozied up with these delightful, unique, and incredibly human characters long after you turn the last page

Evvie Drake Starts Over is what happens when great writing, complex and charming characters, and a not-quite-what-you-expect ending collide, making this lovely novel much more than just another romantic comedy. Deeply moving while simultaneously hilarious, you will want to share it with your best friend, but keep your own copy so you can read it again and again

A sweet and sincere grown-up love story. Fans of grounded romance will fall hard for Evvie Drake and Dean Tenney, two broken people who help each other mend. Refreshing and real, with a huge heart. I loved it

Evvie Drake Starts Over is a warm, witty, and wonderful romance about the art of creating second chances-or a whole second act. Linda Holmes’s moving, smartly written debut is so engaging, you’ll be tempted to wish Evvie could start over yet again, just for a sequel
