A Million Little Things

Synopsis: Zoe Saldivar is more than just single—she's ALONE. She recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend, she works from home and her best friend Jen is so obsessed with her baby that she has practically abandoned their friendship. The day Zoe accidentally traps herself in her attic with her hungry-looking cat, she realizes that it's up to her to stop living in isolation.

Her seemingly empty life takes a sudden turn for the complicated—her first new friend is Jen's widowed mom, Pam. The only guy to give her butterflies in a very long time is Jen's brother. And meanwhile, Pam is being very deliberately seduced by Zoe's own smooth-as-tequila father. Pam's flustered, Jen's annoyed and Zoe is beginning to think "alone" doesn't sound so bad, after all.

Review: My 17th book of 2017.
This may be my favorite book in this series. I waited a year for this novel, and loved it.

I could relate to the issues the characters are facing. These are characters I've come to know over the course of this series, and while they stay true to themselves throughout the series, they do grow.

I didn't love that Zoe and Steven jump so quickly into a sexual relationship, but welcome to 2017 fiction, I guess. Steven is also a stereotypical man/hero in a chick lit novel, and I wanted him to be flawed in some way, but of course he isn't. I think every woman wants a Steven :-)

I love this series, and recommend reading all the books in order, but there's no reason you couldn't just read one or two, in any order.
