Synopsis

A smart, funny, entertaining novel of love and family for our times, Nice to Come Home To breaks the mold of the conventional love story--and will have readers cheering. Everyone around Prudence Whistler, thirty-six, seems to be settling down. Her once-single girlfriends have lately married and had babies. Her gay best friend is discussing marriage with his partner. Even her irresponsible younger sister, Patsy is the single mother of a two-year-old. But when Pru loses her lackluster boyfriend of two years, she fears she’s lost her chance at a traditional family of her own. What she then stumbles upon, however, may actually be even better. Setting about redesigning her life, Pru finds herself accumulating an unusual ad hoc family around he, both within her crowded apartment and in the broader community of Adams-Morgan in Washington, DC. With her new life come the confidence to realize her dress-shop dreams, and a new understanding of family and happiness--one that may just deliver true love in the bargain. Endearing, romantic, witty, and satisfying, Nice to Come Home To is a charming, crowd-pleasing debut.

Easily my favorite women's fiction with a romantic subplot. I stumbled across this ages ago, at my local independent bookstore, and it had been highlighted because the author lived nearby, but I remember absolutely loving it. Reading it felt like a warm hug, in the best way possible. I'm looking for......more

4/18/2012 So far, I just have to say this. Pru is a complete wuss and pretty much an idiot. I would not like her if she was a real person. First of all, owning a cat is not rocket science. You confine him to a small kitchen during the day and lock him in a closet over night? Of course it's going to b......more

Goodreads review by Previous on December 16, 2009

Prudence Whistler can’t seem to find “It” in her life. In the first fifty pages of the novel, the reader learns she has lost her job with a non-profit and her fix-me-up of a boyfriend, Rudy Fisch, dumps her. She does what anyone would, she turns to those closest to her…friends who seem to be more li......more
