About this ebook

Two powerhouse authors bring you a hilarious tale of one woman’s journey to find herself again.

Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months—ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m thirty-five years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity.

But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me.

Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up. She’s willed me the keys to a house in the burbs, of all places, and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I’ve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and I’m ready to fight for my life again.

Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.

There are forty-seven separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I’m surprised no one’s “accidentally” torched the house yet. I want to, and I’ve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then my hot, grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and I’m just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do.

First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine can’t conquer.

Nicole's Book Musings

March 30, 2021

4.5 Stars I will read anything by Avery Fynn so I knew I had to dive into this one. The blurb had me sold. I'm not gonna lie it started out a little slow for me and I wasn't sure I felt about the book. Then has Mallory moved into her late aunt's house that's when the magic started. I so got sucked into the story. I truly loved Mallory and Nick. Nick is going to win you over though hang in there because his first impression didn't do him any favors. Mallory is an inspiring character. She is at rock bottom and trying for a fresh start. This is quite the journey Mallory goes on. A lot of twists and turns are headed her way, but it shows there is light after the dark. I loved Nick's parents. They're a hoot. I wished they were in here more. I can honestly say for someone who prefers dual points of view this book worked so much better from just Mallory's point of view. It's her journey and she takes us in her footsteps of finding herself again. It's a great book that will make you laugh, but also give you all the feels.

Back in the Burbs by Avery Flynn and Tracy Wolff delivered the bitter truths of life wrapped in the sweet coating of humor and wit. It was an enchanting read full of fun, emotions and chemistry. It was entertaining and a true escape in form of a contemporary romantic comedy. Back in the Burbs by Tracy Wolff and Avery Flynn took me to an amazing ride. I laughed, I swooned, I cheered, I clapped and I was completely lost in this journey. I reviewed an early copy voluntarily

Back in the Burbs is so funny and sweet and emotional. I enjoyed it very much. I liked Mallory, then I wanted to kick her in the pants, and then I liked her again (after she decided to own her baggage instead of letting it own her). I loved Nick from the start....and all the way through the book. He was sweet and a little vulnerable and just seemed like a good guy. And I want an Aunt Maggie...but without all the hoarding please. LOL. I recommend this romantic comedy to anyone who likes a bit of angst, a quirky heroine, a strong hero, some funny lines, lots of emotions, some heat and lots of heart. I received a copy of this book from the author via Bookfunnel. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.
