Cordelia is a single mom who has been out of the game for a few years. She's ready to try an app and comes across Impeccably Bubbe': Because you tried everything else, and only a Jewish grandmother would do. Wellington had his eye on the new neighbor since she moved to Scarlett Bush. He's the town vet and star of a National Animal's hit show. Wellington has turned to the same app. The two have more in common with each other than they realize. The only hang-up Cordelia has is their age difference. Does Cordelia get over her hang-ups and give Wellington a chance, or did she trust the wrong app?
Just a Long Island girl living in a Southern world…. Over 20 years ago, a Jew moved from the comfort of her Long Island home for parts unknown of South Carolina. She had to learn and adapt to the ways of the South, real quick like. For years, she was on a quest for Northern goodies in a Southern town. However, the journey for the proper bagel and the perfect NYC pizza always eluded her. The ever-loving theater geek craved the bright lights of the big city and planned to return someday. All her plans changed when she attempted to settle down and marry. Five years later, she found herself the mother of "life experiment #1", a boy. Then exactly five years afterward, "life experiment #2," a girl came along. Both are every bit as eclectic as she is. Boy Experiment sings The Beastie Boys and Taylor Swift on demand, while Girl Experiment shouts “Where is Thumpkin” with the gusto of a head-banging Metal God all while wearing her Wonder Woman nightgown. Adding to the family fun is Bronco the beagle, a rescue that has not only given them hours of entertainment but so much love too. Sometimes God listens to your plans and laughs at them, and with Sarah, this has been no exception. From surviving a divorce, losing her mother to a short battle with the C-word, and learning to navigate through life with her widowed Vietnam Veteran father and her amazingly resilient kids, times have changed. Over the years, she's adapted, making a life with her B.A. in Theatre Performance in hand. She continues to find balance between Faith and the delights of slower Southern living. Though she misses the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, Sarah is now fluent in “Bless your hearts” and understanding the importance of pearl-clutching. Her family humors her and enjoys her antics. That's all she needs, no matter her geographical location.
This story is a super cute fast read! I love the concept of an almost "magical fairy godmother" of the dating app hooking the couple up. I'd love to see more couples added to this one as a collection of shorts!
This was a quick read with 2 great stories. I could see them being expanded into a full length romance novels. They had a very cute concept in the first story with the dating app.
