Synopsis

Claire Melbourne is a steely newspaper editor who's just lost the biggest scoop of her career, thanks to her naïve intern's mistake. Firing the young Ellie Kirkland for the offense was a no-brainer.But when fate brings the two women together again, Claire finds herself questioning everything she thought she was—especially her cynical, take-no-prisoners approach to life. When she's not breaking stories or breaking in reporters, Claire's one outlet is to lose herself in Motown music and in the seat of a cheerful antique Mustang. But lose herself to the much younger, far-too-nice Ellie? There's no breaking news there. Nope. That's a story that needs to be spiked before it ever sees print.Ellie Kirkland is at loose ends—and not for the first time. Resistant to following the path her parents insist on, she's been trying out careers like she's trying on outfits at Banana Republic. Now that her dream of being a journalist is over, Ellie must begin again. And the woman who crushed that very dream is the very woman who just might hold the key to Ellie's future.

Goodreads review by MJSam on April 11, 2019

I liked this, but didn’t love it. This features MC Claire, who is a 42 year old editor of a newspaper and MC Ellie, who is 26 and was recently fired by Claire, but is still trying to work out what she wants to do with her life. The two characters keep finding themselves in each other’s orbit, and ev......more

Goodreads review by Elske on May 10, 2019

A fun book about two women with not only an age gap but also with very different characters and outlook. Though at times a bit slow, this was a nice warm-hearted read. Surprising how lesbianism runs in some families, two moms, the twin sisters (though one might be bisexual) and a cousin. Recommend 3......more

It was a pleasure to read this book. Especially if you love Motown Rhythm & Blues oldies, as in my case. And if you love dogs and vintage convertibles, as in my case again. I would recommend this book without doubt.......more
