Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes (2019) 289 pages
Evvie Drake has spent the year since her husband died feeling like a fraud. Her husband, Tim, was a respected doctor in their small city in Maine, but what nobody knew–not even Evvie's best friend Andy–is that Tim didn't treat Evvie well. His unexpected death in a car accident came at the very time she was packing her car to finally leave him.
Meanwhile, Dean–until recently–was a professional baseball pitcher who just can't pitch with accuracy anymore. He comes to Maine to be near his good friend Andy to get away from the New York media's attention.
Dean moves into an apartment inside Evvie's home where the two interact and try to heal emotionally. We might think we know they will get together in the end, but these characters feel like real people who may or may not connect that way. There is a lot of baggage!
