Out of the Clear Blue Sky
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Lillie Silva knew life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college, but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as her son leaves, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least), what shocks Lillie most is that she isn’t heartbroken. She’s furious.
Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife, and nurse-midwife, she’s used to caring for other people . . . not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband’s wedding dressed like the angel of death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! But it beats staying home and moping.
She finds an unexpected ally in her glamorous sister, with whom she’s had a tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter in, of all people, Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And then there’s Ophelia, her ex-husband’s oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend.
It’s the end of Lillie’s life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you . . . out of the clear blue sky.

- From New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins comes a funny and surprising new novel about losing it all—and getting back more than you ever expected.

Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least), what shocks Lillie most is that she isn’t heartbroken. She’s furious.
Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife, and nurse-midwife, she’s used to caring for other people . . . not taking care of herself.

And an unexpected babysitter in, of all people, Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And then there’s Ophelia, her ex-husband’s oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend.
It’s the end of Lillie’s life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you . . . out of the clear blue sky. - reviews

Lillie Silva has built a wonderful life. She loves her job as a midwife, her son is about to graduate from high school, and she has a great relationship with her in-laws. She's planned a romantic European getaway for her husband, Brad, but the evening she reveals the surprise, he announces that he wants a divorce. Lillie is shocked, but she quickly learns the reason for the divorce: wealthy newcomer Melissa Finch. Lillie's hurt quickly transforms into a thirst for petty revenge, and her antics expose Brad's shallowness and demonstrate that life without him could be an improvement. Melissa's story is cleverly interspersed into the main narrative, showing readers how Missy-Jo Cumbo, a poor kid from small-town Ohio, transformed into glamorous multimillionare philanthropist Melissa Finch, Cape Cod-based husband stealer. Higgins is known for her emotionally potent novels about characters whose lives are in transition, and Lillie's story includes thoughtful reflections about parenting, marriage, and the surprises that life brings when our path suddenly changes. A big-hearted treat for relationship-fiction readers; suggested for fans of Susan Mallery.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Higgins (Good Luck with That) delivers an appealing tale of mid-life crises, divorce, and hopes of living happily ever after on Cape Cod, Mass. Lillie Silva, a nurse and midwife, is blindsided when her husband of 20 years, Brad Fairchild, announces he wants a divorce just as their only child is headed to college. Melissa Finch seems to have it all: beauty, brains, immense wealth, and a beautiful daughter in 12-year-old Ophelia. But what few know is that she began her life in poverty as Missy-Jo Cumbo in tiny Wakefield, Ohio; Ophelia is actually her niece whom Melissa got custody of after Ophelia’s mother was sentenced to prison for drug offenses; and Melissa’s series of marriages have been carefully calculated so that she’ll never be poor again. Next in her sights: Brad. Higgins alternates points of view from wholesome Lillie and scheming Melissa, ratcheting up the tension as the latter’s house of cards begins to fall. Higgins’s tight plotting keeps the narrative moving along, and her well-drawn characters feel alive on the page. This is another winner for Higgins.
