"Daily is a great writer, her prose is smooth and light and infused with so much humor. There were countless scenes that made me giggle and plenty of conversations that had me in stitches. The characters were realistic and relatable and Alex is the type of friend I would want to have in real life. There was a sweet romance and I so badly wanted Alex to find happiness with a man worthy of all she has to offer. This is an ideal book to pick up this summer, super light and easy going but with enough heart and substance to keep you engrossed." ―Novel Gossip

"Daily’s latest novel is a rare find, a feel good rom-com page-turner that’s out of this world real, real funny, real heartfelt and real amazing. Her laugh out loud witty narrative softens the blows of her at times sober plotline and her promotion of the Sarasota sights and sounds will make readers want to book a flight. Her costars, from her octogenarian pot loving retired circus performer to her star’s hilarious yet loyal besties, are awesome and her introduction to environmental psychology 101 is highly educational and absorbing but its her unsinkable, unforgettable, incredible star, Alex that rules every page of this can’t put it down, keeper shelf bound, must read. Brava!" ―The Reading Frenzy
