Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this powerful and uplifting novel, a mother and her daughter-in-law bravely leave their troubled marriages and face the challenge of starting over.

When Nichole discovers that her husband, Jake, has been unfaithful, the illusion of her perfect life is indelibly shattered. While juggling her young son, a new job, and volunteer work, Nichole meets Rocco, who is the opposite of Jake in nearly every way. Though blunt-spoken and rough around the edges, Rocco proves to be a dedicated father and thoughtful friend. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Jake wagers everything on winning Nichole back—including their son Owen’s happiness. Somehow, Nichole must find the courage to defy her fears and follow her heart, with far-reaching consequences for them all.

Leanne has quietly ignored her husband’s cheating for decades, but is jolted into action by the echo of Nichole’s all-too-familiar crisis. While volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language, Leanne meets Nikolai, a charming, talented baker from Ukraine. Resolved to avoid the heartache and complications of romantic entanglements, Leanne nonetheless finds it difficult to resist Nikolai’s effusive overtures—until an unexpected tragedy tests the very fabric of her commitments.

An inspiring novel of friendship, reinvention, and hope, A Girl’s Guide to Moving On affirms the ability of every woman to forge a new path, believe in love, and fearlessly find happiness.

    I listened to the audio version of this book. I can see why Debbie was reluctant to leave Nicoli and Rocco. Such sweet men to women who needed them and deserved them completely. Fantastic book. Thank you!

    An emotional read of a unique relationship between a mother & her daughter in law. This stand alone novel is a detailed account of a relationship between 2 women years apart facing the same issues. Leanne has lived with an unfaithful husband for years. The relationship comes to a head when she discovers her son Jake treating his wife, Nichole & son Owen the same way. Because Leanne always turned a blind eye, he thought Nichole would to. Debbie writes about the journey that Leanne & Nichole travel from leaving their spouses, filing for divorce & creating a new life for themselves. This unlikely pair support each other throughout the journey. Debbie manages to make sure you feel every emotion the characters feel. With Leanne we experience her torment & guilt from going against her son & husband to her pleasure in Nichole creating a new life for herself & Owen. Nichole feels guilty for depriving her son of the life he would have had if she had stayed with Jake. I couldn't put this book down! Just like any Debbie Macomber book I've ever read, I was so involved I stayed up until late in the night to finish it. I laughed, smiled, & cried buckets of tears! You won't be sorry if you purchase this book to read!

    I can't even finish this book. It's silly and I could care less about these characters, no depth, just plain silly and a bit annoyed with the "perfect" women the main characters are portrayed as. Blech!

    Reading about Leanne falling in love with a controlling immigrant was more than I could bear. This story was painful to get through and I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at the childish nature of the characters and the writing style
