7 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gibson comes the story of a mother-daughter journey to rediscover the past before it disappears forever. Lou Ann Hunters mother, Patricia, has always had a passionate nature, which explains why shes been married and divorced five times and spooned enough male patients to be ousted from three elderly care facilities. She also has Alzheimers, which is why she wants to spend her remaining months or years surrounded by memories at her familys decrepit old plantation in Louisiana with her only daughter. Lou Ann, a.k.a. Lulu the Love Guru, has built an empire preaching sex, love, and relationship advice to the women of Americamostly by defying the example her mother has set for her. But with her mother suddenly in need of a fulltime caretaker, Lou Ann reluctantly agrees to step out of the spotlight and indulge her mothers wishes, even if it means trading in her Louboutins and Chanel No. 5 for boots and mosquito repellant. Upon arrival at Sutton Hall, Lou Ann discovers that very little functions at it should, least of all her mothers mind. She is haunted not only by creaky floorboards and things that go bump in the night, but also by the living ghost sleeping downstairs. Every good day Patricia and Lou Ann have treasure hunting in the attic seems to be followed by two days of meltdowns and cold shoulders. And as Lou Ann adjusts to this new and inevitably temporary dynamic, she is forced to confront the fact that her mothers fate is completely out of her handsand the end may be coming quicker than she even thought possible. Heartrending at times and laugh-out-loud funny at others, How Lulu Lost Her Mind is the book for anyone whose mom has ever made them crywhether tears of joy, regret, frustration, love, or all of the above. Fans of Emily Giffin, Kristan Higgins, and Jill Shalvis wont be able to forget it.

This was much “heavier” than i expected.The story isn‘t so much a romance as it is the story of a daughter watching her mother succumb to Alzheimers.

Another novel that takes place in the South—this time at an old plantation home in Louisiana. Lou Ann “Lulu the Love Guru” is forced to take a break in her career to care for her mother who has been kicked out of her third care facility. A fun read. Free on Kindle for Amazon Prime members.

Aimeesue I hadn't read your caption, so I thought the 5/5 was 5 out of 5 stars. I was very confused by the time I got to Stephen Fry! 😂😂😂 4y

Lulu was flying high as the Love Guru, a major influencer around the art and science of romance, when her mother Patricia began, um, let‘s just say *misbehaving* in yet another nursing home. Patricia has Alzheimer‘s and might say or do just about anything. When Patricia demands to be “taken home” to the family‘s run-down estate in Louisiana Lulu lands herself in a crazy, unrecognizable life, like many of us right now. A great diversion! May 19.
