Blog tour and publication date post for debut author, Sarah Adler of Mrs Nash’s Ashes

About the Book

A Most Anticipated Book by Barnes & Noble ∙ BookRiot ∙ GoodReads ∙ Culturess ∙ and more!

A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.

Millicent Watts-Cohen is on a mission. When she promised her elderly best friend that she’d reunite her with the woman she fell in love with nearly eighty years ago, she never imagined that would mean traveling from D.C. to Key West with three tablespoons of Mrs. Nash’s remains in her backpack. But Millie’s determined to give her friend a symbolic happily-ever-after, before it’s (really) too late—and hopefully reassure herself of love’s lasting power in the process.

She just didn’t expect to have a living travel companion.

After a computer glitch grounds flights, Millie is forced to catch a ride with Hollis Hollenbeck, an also-stranded acquaintance from her ex’s MFA program. Hollis certainly does not believe in happily-ever-afters—symbolic or otherwise—and makes it quite clear that he can’t fathom Millie’s plan ending well for anyone.

But as they contend with peculiar bed-and-breakfasts, unusual small-town festivals, and deer with a death wish, Millie begins to suspect that her reluctant travel partner might enjoy her company more than he lets on. Because for someone who supposedly doesn’t share her views on romance, Hollis sure is becoming invested in the success of their journey. And the closer they get to their destination, the more Millie has to admit that maybe this trip isn’t just about Mrs. Nash’s love story after all—maybe it’s also about her own.

My Thoughts

Loved, loved, loved this book!
It’s fun, it’s funky and it’s fresh. If I hadn’t known this was a debut author, I would have never known by the writing because it’s absolutely brilliant!

Imagine going on a road trip, now imaging this road trip with a reluctant travel mate whose romantic notions don’t exactly match up with yours and the ashes of an elderly friend you are going to reunite with a special friend.

The characters…………….I liked her better than him in this rom com, but he grew on me and I got to liking him too. She is a former child tv star, used to people recognizing her, she can deal with the recognition as long as they’re not rude. He’s a struggling writer who won’t share his manuscript with her, he also tries to keep up a grumpy front and this is where he grew on me, he becomes more likable as he starts to like more of the things she does and becomes more agreeable to things.

A discovered secret leads to a big blow up, will this relationship recover in time? Mrs. Nash’s ashes take quite the cross-country trip with these two, if only they could hear the conversations being had!

Sweet, sexy, romantic, heartwarming and may just make you shed a tear or two.
Have I said already that I loved it? I can’t wait to see what’s up next for this author. You’re going to love this awesome and fun relaxation summery beach read book.
