I had kind of penciled this in as a possibility for summer romance bingo (either as character name in title or next-door neighbor) and I didn't make it off of the library hold list in time, but it actually worked out well, since this isn't a romance novel, per se, even though that is definitely an element of the story. This was more about Evvie slowly learning who to let into her post-terrible-husband life, when she was keeping major secrets from even her closest (maybe only?) friend. I really liked Evvie and her growth throughout this book - Dean was a little less defined as a character for me. but was still an excellent romantic lead. And as someone who's gotten super-drunk and told a close male friend I thought he was secretly in love with me, I unfortunately identified hard with the super-cringey confrontation between Evvie and Andy. This wasn't quite what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it, and I want to visit Maine and eat all the lobster now.
