Book Review: The New Ever After by Julie Farley

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
The sequel to Tripped Up Love is here! After becoming a widow with three small children, Heather Meadows is starting a new life. She has a sexy new husband, newborn twins, and a blossoming career as a writer. But with the advent of summer comes an avalanche of worries about doing it all and being enough. In her quirky style that drew readers to Tripped Up Love, Heather works through her new challenges and surprises with the fortitude she found she had when her first husband died. Only this time, her strength is put to the ultimate test as she faces losing not only her best friend but her new happily ever after as well.
Review:
I have also read Tripped Up Love and really enjoyed it, but the sequel didn’t wow me as much. It took me a while to really start getting into the story, and I think the part that held my interest the most was the drama with Heather’s friend and her husband. A little too predictable for me and over the top with the love between Heather and Peter, to the point where it started to feel forced. Still a sweet story with a nice ending, but not for me.
