SUMMARY: Kelly Mills Johnson becomes restless in her thirty-ninth year. An appetite for more forces her to take stock of her ordinary middle-American existence and her neighbors’ seemingly perfect lives. Her marriage to a successful attorney has settled into a comfortable routine, and being the mother of two adorable sons has been rewarding but exhausting. Meanwhile, Kelly’s own passions lie wasted. She eyes with envy the lives of her two best friends, Kathryn and Charlotte, both beautiful, successful businesswomen who seem to have it all. Kelly takes charge of her life, devising a midlife makeover plan. Here, Home, Hope will surely appeal to readers of chick lit and other women’s fiction titles who are ready to transition into something new in their own life.

MY THOUGHTS:
For Kaira Rouda’s first novel Here Home Hope is very impressive. After several chapters I was hooked I wanted to know what happens to Kelly and the other people in her life! I ended up staying up reading until 3:30 in the morning because I wanted to finish the book! So you know how good the book must have been for that to happen! Kaira makes these characters so real and relate-able!! I am inspired by the T2C list! I think that anyone and everyone should have that exact list to follow and change things in their life for the better! This book will definitely make you think about what/who is important in your life, whether you are having your “midlife” crisis or not! I definitely would recommend or purchase this book for others.
MY RATING:
♥♥♥♥4 Hearts: Really Good
