Synopsis:Violet Covington pens Dear Sweetie, the most popular advice column in the state of North Carolina. She has an answer for how to politely handle any difficult situation…until she discovers her husband, Sam, has been cheating on her. Furious and out of sensible solutions, Violet leaves her filter at the door and turns to her column to air her own frustrations. The new, brutally honest Dear Sweetie goes viral, sending more shock waves through Violet’s life. When she burns Sam’s belongings in a front-yard, late-night bonfire, a smoking-hot firefighter named Dez shows up to douse the flames, and an unexpected fling quickly shows potential to become something longer lasting.
A lot of people want to see the old polished Violet return—including her boss, who finds her unpredictability hard to manage, and Sam, who’s begging for another chance. But Dez appreciates Violet just the way she is—in fact, he can’t get enough of her. The right answers don’t come easily when Violet finds herself at her own personal crossroads. But maybe, by getting real, Violet can write her own happy ending.

My Review
I really enjoyed this book. It's only downfall is that it felt too long. And it honestly isn't that long of a book.
I lied, it had another downfall... Violet. Yes, she had a shitty hand dealt to her because her husband cheated on her.
But...
She is someone who is quick to respond and not think about consequences. She let her pity party continue way too long and used it as an excuse to be crappy to people.
I did love that Violet was a part of an advice column and she helped some people with her advice. I thought it was such a great idea until she used that service to hurt someone.
This was definitely a nice contemporary read with difficult topics.
I'm definitely excited to see if I like any more of Libby's books in the future!
