Totally and Completely Fine
Totally and Completely Fine | Elissa Sussman
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
From the bestselling author of Funny You Should Ask comes an inspiring romance novel about honoring the past, living in the present, and loving for the future. In her small Montana hometown, Lauren Parker has assumed a few different roles: teenage hell-raiser, sister of superstar Gabe Parker, and most recently, tragically widowed single mother. She's never cared much about labels or what people thought of her, but dealing with her grief over the loss of her husband, Spencer, has slowly revealed that she's adrift in her own life. Then she meets the devilishly handsome actor Ben Walsh on the set of her brother's new movie. They have instant chemistry, and Lauren realizes that it has been far too long since someone has really and truly seen her. Her rebellious spirit spurs her to dive headfirst into her desire, but when a sexy encounter becomes something more, Lauren finds herself balancing old roles and new possibilities. There's still plenty to contend with: small-town rumors, the complications of Ben's fame, and her daughter's unpredictable moods. An unexpected fling seemed simple at the time--so when did everything with Ben get so complicated? And is there enough room in his life for the woman Lauren wants to be? Alternating between Lauren's past with Spencer and her present with Ben, Totally and Completely Fine illuminates what it means to find life-changing love and be true to oneself in the process.

This book was just a total hit for me. Lauren was so relatable as a mom of a teenager. The constant struggles of what to say and how to say it, how to reach out across the divide that happens at that age. Compound this with the grief they were dealing with and it makes for a lot of room for growth. I loved Lauren‘s growth and her reawakening of the stronger version of herself.

CoffeeK8 I loved Ben and wished we had seen more of him. There was a lot to unpack in his story and he was a very compelling person. I also loved the glimpses into Gabe and Chani‘s life after the last book. (Funny You Should Ask - which I also loved!) This was a romance with a lot of heart and family.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #RandomHouse Publishing-Ballentine for an #ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
