Oh Linda Holmes, you've done it again.
Cecily Foster has been the supporting character in her own life. A talented podcast producer, she works tirelessly for her boss (and for his company) as the catch all worker-- filling in the gaps wherever the team may need her. The only podcast she's worked on that's reached any amount of fame was stolen by her ex-boyfriend after their split. Her life, while not unhappy, is decidedly not what she had hoped for herself.
When her boss dangles the promise of her own show (finally!) and threatens the job of her mentee in exchange for her participation in a new show-- Twenty Dates. Cecily has no interest in going on twenty first dates, nor collaborating with an influencer to promote her dating coach services; but she isn't given much of a choice.
Witty and heartwarming, Linda Holmes once again proves why she's on my always-read list. Her characters are always original and unique, and while BACK AFTER THIS is a romance (and an incredibly sweet one at that #teamwaiter) Cecily's journey is one of self-love and finally voicing (and finding) her desires.
