–A Bookish Escape
Piper Mishner has spent the last year trying to get over her ex, which is hard to do after he decides to move into the apartment next to hers with his new fiancé. As if she needs the reminder of how painful the breakup was. Not to mention, her job as a greeting card writer is now at risk due to her cynicism about love.
“I’m bored with you and need a change.” The infamous words of Kerrie Holloway’s ex-husband, who doesn’t seem to understand the concept of being an “ex” since he wants her to pretend for their kids and family that they’re still together. While dating others and living in the same house. She gets a job in sales at a greeting card company, and is finally on the way to saving for her own place.
Maude Gilchrist has spent over fifty years married to the same man. A man who, one day, just leaves. No goodbye. No explanation. He was just gone. Bitter and alone, she decides to postpone retirement from the greeting card company. Although writing sappy cards about love is the last thing she wants to do.
Through lunch hour talks, weekend getaways, and drunken brawls, the ladies of All For You Greeting Cards Company help heal one another’s wounds and learn there are more important things in life than having a man. There may be a generational gap, but they all have the “ex-factor” in common.
Excerpt:
No. No freaking way. This was not happening.
Maybe I’d just imagined it since I had been thinking of him.
A moment later, I watched in horror as Minho stepped onto the neighboring balcony holding a bowl of rice with eggs on top.
Nope. Didn’t imagine it.
Oh God, I couldn’t let him see me like this. I smoothed my old nightgown, which had cartoon cats holding coffee cups between their paws on it. Crap. What should I do? Without a second thought, I dropped to my knees, then into a full-blown military crawl, my belly rubbing against the floor, as I used my elbows to propel myself forward across the deck toward my French doors. The only thing worse than a domestic enemy was an ex.
Why? Why? Why? Did God hate me? I mean, seriously. What were the damn odds of my ex moving into the apartment next to mine with his new fiancée?
