NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Read with Jenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today - Everything a romantic comedy should be: witty, relatable, and a little complicated.-- People A heartfelt debut about the unlikely relationship between a young woman whos lost her husband and a major league pitcher whos lost his game. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth Evvie Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husbands death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesnt correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andys childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the yips he cant throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he cant figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Deans future. When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evvies house, the two make a deal: Dean wont ask about Evvies late husband, and Evvie wont ask about Deans baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken--and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pasts--the friendships theyve damaged, the secrets theyve kept--but in life, as in baseball, theres always a chance--up until the last out. A joyful, hilarious, and hope-filled debut, Evvie Drake Starts Over will have you cheering for the two most unlikely comebacks of the year--and will leave you wanting more from Linda Holmes.
