Older man/younger woman. Ellie is a young woman, down on her luck. When she gets to the apartment she is supposed to share with her boyfriend - since she was evicted from her own apartment - she finds him cheating on her. She storms out of the apartment, dropping the things she was carrying. She tries to dial her best friend but gets no ringing, as if the call connected automatically. She shouts something into the phone and is humiliated when she hears a deep chuckle, which definitely does not belong to her best friend, but to Mr. Bubba, a man she has known nearly all her life. He was the support for her dad when her mom died, he babysat her and her younger brother. They had a caustic relationship, Ellie and Mr. Bubba did, until they did not. I really enjoyed this book, getting to know the characters and trying to guess what happened next was a lot of fun. Ms. Nash is a new, to me, author and I look forward to seeing more from her.
