Overview

THE MESSY YEARS is a heartfelt, humorous, and honest portrait of friendship during the painful years of adulting. It reminds us that the truest family is the one we choose. Maeve, Hadley, and Lizzie thought they'd have it all figured out by now. But life, love, and loss have a way of rewriting even the best-laid plans. The trio were inseparable in college, and now navigating the messy years of adulthood on Boston's South Shore. Still reeling from the sudden death of her husband, Maeve is determined to rebuild-until a preppy golden boy named Pope not only swipes her promotion, but starts cracking open the heart she swore she'd sealed shut. Hadley, a Southern Belle newlywed is struggling to conceive while clinging to a vision of the perfect life that's slipping through her fingers. And Lizzie, the glamorous, divorced, high-achieving realtor, is unraveling-still obsessing over her ex and questioning every choice that's led her here.

""I laughed, I cried, and I felt the rollercoaster the journey we call life in our 30s. This book is a hilarious (if somewhat too close to home) reality of life in your 20-30s. Quite literally the messy years. There is no topic left untouched: work, love, regret, friend drama and so much more. What I love is, although this is fiction I truly believed the characters struggles and pains, and was enamored with their stories. All of the character characters intertwine and create this beautiful messy complex relationship that you get to be a fly on the wall. Cathy Ranieri Net Galley, reviewer Brittany Short ""It hooked me from the very first chapter, and I couldn't put it down until it was finshed. The characters are so vividly relatable and well-written that I felt as if I was right there along with them on their journey thru the ""messy years"". Slater has a unique writing style that really makes reading the novel quick and easy. I absolutely couldn't put it down and am looking forward to reading more by Slater in the future. I highly recommend this book to anyone!"" -Brittany Short NetGalley, Reviewer
