This story follows Lois as she navigates a divorce in the 1950s; which is quite a scandal. She goes to a divorce ranch in Reno, where she must stay for six weeks, before being granted her divorce.

This book is really well-written with interesting viewpoints on female friendships.

Unfortunately, this book didn’t quite hit the mark with me and I found it to be very slowly paced. There was a lack of action throughout and I found the main character to be a bit dry.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Books for the eARC.

In the 1950s, unhappiness was hardly a valid reason for divorce - except in Nevada.

Hence the divorce ranches in Reno. Because the state's only requirement is six weeks' residency beforehand.

And so Lois finds herself holed up at the Golden Yarrow, the divorce ranch for the well-to-do. It's light years away from Lake Forest, Illinois.

And then Greer Lang arrives...

I really enjoyed reading this book and seeing the characters develop throughout and live / develop their new lives in their own ways.
