Thanks to @shewritespress and @tlcbooktours for the gifted copy. This was a very interesting read. I didn't know what to expect going in but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The author's writing really paints the scenes. The 80's history sprinkled into the story was one of my favorite aspects. The alternating timelines didn't get confusing. I loved that it had a strong, female lead who wasn't afraid to take a chance on her own happiness. This is book is for you if you're into: 🎸 second chance romances 🎸 long lost loves 🎸 60s era of sex, drugs and rock and roll 🎸 80s history 🎸 consequences of settling in relationships 🎸 strong female leads 🎸 stories about artsy people 🥁SYNOPSIS🥁 As her stultifying marriage is unravelling, and in the midst of mourning the loss of her creative self, Caro Tanner has a nightmare about Peter, an old love whom she hasn’t seen in twenty years. She takes this as a sign he still needs her. With her three children safely off to summer camp, Caro embarks on a pre-Facebook, pre–cell phone road trip to recapture who she once was and what she thinks she once had. Set in the sex, drugs, and rock ’n roll ’60s in Tucson, Arizona―when Caro and Peter were kooky, colorful, and inseparable drama students―and in the suburban ’80s, when Caro’s creative spark has been quenched to serve the needs of her husband and children, So Happy Together explores the conundrum of love and sexual attraction, creativity and family responsibilities, and what happens when they are out of sync. It is a story of missed opportunities, the tantalizing possibility of second chances, and what we leave behind, carry forward, and settle for when we choose. It sits in that raw, messy, confounding, beautiful place where love resides. #SoHappyTogether #TLCBookTour #DeborahKShepherd #rockandroll #SheWritesPress #BookReview #1980s #1960s #Bookdragon #BooksandMurals #BooksandArt #Bookstagram #BooksOutside #bibliophile #BookFeature #books #BookPhotos #Bookworm #reading #paperbacks #bookish #FemaleAuthor #FemaleLeads (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWcm2MrxBl/?utm_medium=tumblr
