Reviewer: Joelle
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, no pun intended. This book is and is not what you think. Valerie is the main character. Businesswoman. Divorcee. Caregiver to her mother. Best friends and business partner with Pam. She spends all her time and energy focused on work and loses her husband. She ventures into a second business of home health aides = health hunks. During her journey she reassesses her life and her priorities. She cares for her elderly mother and finds a new love interest Keith. In the end, Valerie realizes she is not really living her life to the fullest and may be missing out on what she truly wants. When she finally takes control and sells her second company, focuses on her mother’s needs and really pays attention to Keith, things start to turn around. This book is humorous and dramatic with a surprising ending.
Some of my favorite lines:
-“don’t dip your pen in the company ink.”
-“you’re a barracuda in the business world. But when it comes to matters of the heart, you’re chicken little.”
-“so do I get to dip my breadstick in the olive oil?”
-“my favorite was the time this man came in and wanted to buy a brassiere for his wife. Helen asked him what size she wore, and he said he didn’t know. So she said, ‘would you say they’re plums, apples or cantaloupes?’ and the man said, ‘I don’t know, I’ve never tasted them!’”
so funny. when i reread my reviews. im like, “i wrote that?” lol. 🙂
