Changing Lanes
Abby Halladay has the perfect life. Or, rather, she will…as long as everything goes exactly according to plan. Abby never leaves anything to chance—not her job as a syndicated columnist, not her engagement to her fiancé, Fred, and certainly not her impending wedding in Paris (New Jersey, that is).
Unfortunately for Abby, even the best-laid plans often go awry—like when Fred runs away to Paris (France, that is), her column is canned, and her dream home is diagnosed with termites. Forced to move back in with her parents and drive her dad’s cab, Abby’s perfect life has now officially become the perfect disaster.
Then a funny thing happens. Slowly but surely, Abby begins letting go of her dreams of perfection. As she does, the messy, imperfect life she thought she never wanted starts to feel exactly like the one she needs.
Poignant and heartfelt, Changing Lanes celebrates the unexpected joys of everyday life—and the enduring promise of second chances.

Live life in the now and go with the flow. More than just a lighthearted romance.
Abby Halladay or aka Cabbie Abby as some of the towns residents of Paris, New Jersey now call her, no longer works as a syndicated columnist and has spent the past few weeks thinking about what life may have in store for her. You see Abby had plans, many plans, she had a wedding coming up in a few months, a new Victorian home to move into and a job, although not perfect but one nether the less. Then everything started to fall apart, first she was let go from her job, then before she could tell him, her fiancé Fred gets cold feet and takes off to Paris, France without a word. Later Abby finds the home her and Fred purchased is a hazard and has massive termite damage, which leaves her no other option but to move in with her parents and siblings. Now totally on her own with the termite damage and wedding plans on hold, Fred won't take her calls nor does he return them. Abby turns to her family for support and soon she finds out that when it comes to life just letting things happen and going with the flow is not so bad after all.
What I really liked about this story is how it is a light-hearted romance and there is absolutely no sex, not even petting involved (unless of course you count the dog). You have a little romance that goes on with the main character and her love interest, yet in the end the story is left open-ended. Usually I don't like these kinds of endings however Long did such a good job at keeping me so interested throughout the story, I didn't feel it lacked anything at the end and it worked well. The characters are animated and quirky and the authors writing style is very easy to read.
There is much more to this story than romance and second chances and there are many lessons to be learned. There is dementia, grieving, social isolation and teenage depression, alcoholism, family, community, secrets, humor and then there is that sweet longing that comes with the first love of your life. I was able to relate to many of the characters in this book including Abby, Frankie, and especially Mick with his moms dementia. Although not implied, I felt Mick's character is a mirror image of Abby's, as he is basically trapped within a situation he never imagined, yet unlike Abby he is bitter. I really like how Abby and Mick balance each other out and in the end both find out the hard way where they truly belong.

I received a copy of Changing Lanes by Kathleen Long in exchange for an honest review.
I have also read Chasing Rainbows by Kathleen Long, and absolutely adored it. I was looking forward to reading another offering from her, and am pleased to say I highly enjoyed Changing Lanes as well. I thought it was interesting that we never get a clear picture of her relationship with fiancé Fred. We learn right off the bat that he’s fled to Paris, France claiming “boredom” and Abby doesn’t go into a lot of details about him, or have flashbacks of their relationship. I liked that because I think it kept the story moving without having a lot of back story for readers to grasp. Sometimes I almost forgot that Abby was engaged and weeks away from walking down the aisle, but I still thought that part of plot was well-orchestrated. I loved the family dynamics in the story, from her parents and her dad’s well-kept secret, her grandmother who is also trying to move on, and her sisters – especially Frankie – who give an oomph to the story. I appreciate that the story is about second chances and truly living the life you want to live, and I would recommend this book!

A beautiful book with beautiful characters! I have read “Changing Lanes” by Kathleen Long and this would be my summation. This story is about a young woman whose life was in order and who had everything going for her. She had a great job, a fiancé, marriage in two months, and a new house to share in her new life. Then the bottom drops out of everything. She loses her job. Her fiancé hops a plane to Paris, France instead of meeting her in Paris, New Jersey. Her new house is termite ridden and damaged. AND, she has to move back with her parents. At thirty years of age, this is not acceptable.
However, coming home and re-thinking her priorities makes all the difference in her new life. Her family is supports her, her friends are there for her, her best friend from her teen years is back. Abby Hallahan is a survivor…oh, not at first, but as she decides what she is going to do with her life, she finds that life is made up of “moments of memories”.
I loved reading this book. It was definitely a mood changer. In spite of all the trials and tribulations, Abby’s outlook on life became so uplifting that my mood even changed. Ms. Long has a winner!
I would highly recommend purchasing this book. I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5. I received a free print copy of this book in return for my honest review from the publisher, Amazon Publishing and Night Owl Reviews. The opinions expressed here are my own.

Meh....
August 24, 2017
This was the first book I've read by Kathleen Long and I have to say, I'll be reading more of her work. Her characters are true to life. When Abby Halladay's is presented with an opportunity to lead a different life due to unfortunate events, Abby's apprehensive approach allows for exponential growth as she discovers the things she wants most. I enjoyed Kathleen Long's approach to uncovering truths in everyday life that connect people's hearts.

Kathleen Long’s first book, Chasing Rainbows , was one of my 2012 favorites. I’m excited to review her new book, Changing Lanes now.
From the book summary:
Abby Halladay has the perfect life. Or, rather, she will…as long as everything goes exactly according to plan. Abby never leaves anything to chance—not her job as a syndicated columnist, not her engagement to her fiancé, Fred, and certainly not her impending wedding in Paris (New Jersey, that is).
Unfortunately for Abby, even the best-laid plans often go awry—like when Fred runs away to Paris (France, that is), her column is canned, and her dream home is diagnosed with termites. Forced to move back in with her parents and drive her dad’s cab, Abby’s perfect life has now officially become the perfect disaster.
Then a funny thing happens. Slowly but surely, Abby begins letting go of her dreams of perfection. As she does, the messy, imperfect life she thought she never wanted starts to feel exactly like the one she needs.
Poignant and heartfelt, Changing Lanes celebrates the unexpected joys of everyday life—and the enduring promise of second chances.
The elements of Chasing Rainbows that I loved are back in Changing Lanes. A character forced to re-evaluate her life. A likable heroine who begins to find herself. You know that little thrill you get, sometimes, when you read? That one where you kind of wish you had the guts to do what the main character is doing? I got that little thrill here. Wouldn’t it be great if we all had the courage to live the life that’s just right for us? Of course, sometimes it takes a lot of challenges for us to see that just right life is, and we don’t always have those things thrown in our path. But still, if we had the chance to do what feels completely right to us? That’s what reading Long’s books does for me, why they hook me in.
But it’s not just Abby finding her perfect life in this book- that journey is woven through a number of subplots and characters. The challenges these characters face, the secrets they keep, only add to the intrigue of the story and the authenticity of the relationships. We all keep some secrets, for reasons right or wrong. In Changing Lanes, they add a deeper context to the story.
Fans of women’s fiction should take a look at Kathleen Long’s books. There’s a depth to her characters and stories that isn’t seen in all chick lit books, and I really appreciate that.

This was one of those books that managed to touch your heart while making you smile and sometimes laugh out loud
Abby Halladay had a plan. She was to marry Fred, they would move into their cute Victorian house in her hometown and she would write her nice column for the local paper. But on the day she and Fred were to move into their house and start their lives, everything fell apart. While Fred fled to Paris, France, Abby was left in Paris, New Jersey (her hometown) to try and make sense of what happened to her best laid plans. She soon realizes that having her plans waylaid was the best thing to happen to her.
I loved Abby and the entire Halladay family. They were quirky, funny and at their core, loving. They looked out for one another in their own special way. When Abby came home, they were able to help her find her way. They didn't nag her (other than her mother with her dinner time fix ups) or try and push her instead. Instead, they let her fumble and were always there to help her back on her feet.
Intertwined with Abby's family was her high school best friend and next door neighbor, Mick O'Malley. Mick was on his own journey trying to discover what he was supposed to do with his life. He'd left everything behind in Seattle to take care of his mother as her health declined. He may have thought he was just the son of the town drunk, but he also discovered that he really wasn't the 'bad boy' everyone (including himself) thought he was.
This was a great story about finding yourself and giving yourself the ok to change lanes when you find the course you started down isn't the right one. The story and the characters were quite charming and will make you want to drop everything to find Paris, New Jersey.

This book drifts around the fictional town of Paris, New Jersey in a bit of a whimsical haze, trying to make you fall in love with the small town along with the main character. Unfortunately, it's populated by two dimensional, formulaic characters. Each character is a stereotype with a twist: The loving dad who secretly loves to cook. The overbearing mom with a hidden passion for photography. The gruff best friend who is obsessed with coupons. The cute baby sister who mimics everything she sees on TV. The spunky grandma who is afraid to let go of her dead husband. And, of course, the brooding boy next door... who never actually shows her much emotion, lets her in, or behaves as if he has a romantic interest in her at all, making the cliched "run into your arms" ending that much more far-fetched.
The ending was my other major problem with this book. The main character gets dumped by her fiance and loses her job, and spends the next month trying to figure out what she's doing with her life. She drifts aimlessly around the small town, sorta focuses on fixing up the termite-ridden house she bought, and does a lot of sentimental navel gazing. And then decides that the new purpose of her life should be... to jump into the arms of neighbor boy, and follow him across the country. Seriously? This is the strong, self-reliant woman that we've been building up to the whole book? A girl who can't go more than a month alone before she's throwing herself at her high school flame?

Abby Halladay should be counting down the days until she is married. Instead she has lost her job as an advice columnist, she has a termite problem to contend to, and to top it all off her fiancé calls her to tell her that he took off for Paris, France.
Now Abby does what any woman in her position does…she moves back home with her parents. While back Abby wanders around town trying to pick up the pieces of her life and figure out her next steps.
Mick O’Malley lost his wife a little over two years ago. They got into an argument and she was drunk. Mick lives next door to Abby’s parents. He is working on fixing their roof.
This book sounded like a charming read. I need these types of books every once in a while to break up my routine of reading mysteries. Sadly this book did not jive with me. I got about three chapters in and then put this book down and walked away from it for a long time. I did pick it back up to give it a second chance. As much as I wanted to like this book I just could not get into it or the characters. Abby was a little too boring and complaining too much. Mick did not even come off as the good guy next door. Even when he was trying to push Abby’s buttons it did not come off as fun banter.

This is a short and sweet story about a woman who had everything going for her and then the bottom falls out. She finds out who she is and what she wants from life by settling down and just letting life "happen". I like this book. It's interesting and as a sentimental streak. I think all of us have had to "change lanes" at one time or other in our lives. This book depicts the anxiety that comes with change and the joys of finding out who you are and what you want out of life.

I absolutely adored this story. Funny, sad, hopeful and courageous.
Abby Halladay heads home to her parents in Paris, NJ after having a very bad day…she lost her job, her new house (just purchased in Paris) has extensive termite damage and her fiancé (co-owner in new home) has disappeared to Paris, France two months before their wedding because he’s “bored”. At 30, to say she’s lost and feeling unmoored is an understatement. But as she rediscovers what she loved about her hometown and reconnects with her parents, sisters, grandmother and her best friends, she begins to realize that she might just have lost “herself” when she moved away. She became what she believed she should be rather than who she really was at heart. Through trial and error and a lot of soul-searching she begins to uncover her former self…what and who made her happy, what and who brought out the real her and how the little moments in life are the most precious.
Abby is an easily relatable character, and her supporting cast of family, friends and townspeople are simply wonderful. I zoomed through this one and am definitely looking at this author’s backlist.
Highly recommend.

When I first started this book I thought "Oh, this is a romance novel". It isn't (well, I guess it is in a way) but it is so much more. Abby, the main character, seems to have her life planned out until her fiance, Fred, sneaks off to Paris.
What I liked about this story is it didn't take the easy way out. She didn't fall into her old neighbor Mick's arms and let him sweep her away. She made some tough decisions for herself, took a good look at her life, and changed it...along with her perspective of what she thought would make her happy.
The family dynamics in the story are fun, and the underlying message is great. It's a quick, fun, read that will make you take a look at your own decisions in life!

So, about a chapter in, I decided I could predict the entire plot. I did have it mostly correct. I was griping the entire time about it being predictable. BUT. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this journey with Abby and I'd be disappointed if it ended any other way. As I rapidly approached the ending, I actually found myself wondering if there would be a sequel. (Is there? can I have one?) I've spent a few days with these characters and I'd love nothing more than to be able to pull a Mary Poppins and hop right into Paris, NJ and hang out with them all a little more. I shaved a star off only because I was able to predict most of the plot, but don't let that fool you. If you're looking for an easy-to-read, delightfully sweet tale, buckle up and befriend Cabby Abby.

The whole is greater than the parts people, but a worthy novel, indeed. In fact, I even surprised myself with some tears about halfway through. Sweetly written and (most times) well-executed story about 30 year old Abby Halladay who finds herself (as SOO many characters do) back in her home town navigating a huge life change while encountering parents with an opinion, an old flame and the small town know-it-alls that drive most of these types of plots. Typical parts and people notwithstanding, and though I desperately wanted an epilogue, this was a gem of a find on a local used bookstore treasure hunt.

Wonderful book about life in general & dealing with different kinds of loss in life. Life changes & people try to help you cope. But sometimes people get in the way & they end up hurting the people they are trying to help. Some people are just nosy & openly state their opinions not realizing how hurtful words can be. This is a great book!!

Good read
This was a good easy short read that left me wanting to know what was going to happen next. The moral behind the story really caught me thinking about my own life and how I could live life more to the fullest.

Overall a good book, full of reflection and humour, but, did seem to drag on in some parts. Having said that, I was kept interested enought that I will still get the sequel. (Listened to the Audible version.)

This novel of small-town life is so heartfelt. You can feel the love Ms. Long feels for her characters. There are no evil characters. Just honest, real ones.
