About The Book:
After three marriages and a lot of living, resilient Billie Slate knows exactly what trouble love can bring. Now she’s reinvented herself as the Heartbreak Bunny, an on-call performance artist who can heal anyone who’s been burned by that four-letter word, LOVE, by hopping about and whisking away sad mementos from their past relationships. Call it magic. Call it peculiar. But her bunny costume is as perfect as her breakup mantra: SNAP OUT OF IT. As Billie’s business goes viral and skyrockets her to sudden fame, her comfortable life turns surreal: her daughter’s marriage begins to fail, and Victor, aka Worst Husband Ever, wants not only to bond with the daughter he left but to win Billie back. Only, he’s got competition: a charming widower might be falling in love with a woman who no longer believes in love. As every romantic notion Billie had pushed away starts pushing back, the Heartbreak Bunny must confront the possibility that, just maybe, love has some tricks left up its sleeve.

My Review:

This is my third read by this author. I loved both A Happy Catastrophe and Matchmaking for Beginners and am happy to report that Snap Out of It was a hit with me. Billie Slate is a woman after my own heart, I so connected with her and could relate to what she felt and was going through. I mean who hasn't been hurt by love!? And although this book deals with a lot of heartbreak it is also heartwarming and very funny. 

I loved the different characters they were well thought out and seemed so true to life. I think Billie and I would be great friends. I love books, especially rom-coms with women of a certain age. Just because we're 50+ doesn't mean we're past our prime or too old for love. The plot was pretty unique in that Billie operated a company that helps you "snap out of it" when your relationship breaks down. She is basically a woman who helps you get rid of all your mementos and pushes you to move on after a breakup. What a wonderful idea! 

Billie the Heartbreak Bunny also has compassion and eventually finds a love of her own, even though she swears she doesn't believe in romance. Maddie Dawson has another hit on her hands and I for one can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
