REVIEW:

I have read a few books by Tess Thompson that have been part of a series with other authors. Second Act is the prequel to a new series that is coming out. It is called The Parent App. I had so much fun reading the prequel and am looking forward to the series and am hoping to be able to review it for you. The first book comes out in November and book two in December. Be watching for them.

This is a series about five women who have five children the same age. They bonded over a coffee get together the first day their kids started school. They had so much in common and have formed a family of choice. The five kids decide their moms need a man in their lives when they head off to college in a few years. They just finished Junior High and are headed to High School next year. They have decided to put a profile for their moms on a dating site to see what happens. 

I can just imagine what happens when they tell the moms about their scheme. Can’t you? I really want to read that book. Then the following books have to be the moms going on first dates and finding Mr. Wrong and Mr. Right. There has to be some funny and heartbreaking moments. Don’t you think?

In just this short prequel, I found the characters are beautifully developed. I feel like I’ve met some new friends to spend some time with. I love characters that are so open and relatable. It allows me to just fall into the story and enjoy myself and their antics.

I think these books are going to be right in my wheelhouse and bring me a lot of enjoyment. If this sounds like anything you might like, I encourage you to check out The Parent App Series! The Second Act is free right now so, go grab a copy for yourself. If you put these on your nightstand, let me know what you think. I can’t wait to hear from you. Until next time…Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

What happens when the kids put their single moms on a dating app?

Unexpected connections, heartfelt confessions, and the first sparks of second chances in this clean & wholesome small-town romance prequel.

Five kids. Five single moms. One unforgettable summer.

In the coastal town of Willet Cove, five kids have grown up side by side, bound together like family. Their moms—five single mothers who’ve built a found family of their own—have given them everything.

But as high school looms, the kids see what their mothers won’t admit: behind the laughter and busy lives is a quiet loneliness. And they’re determined to fix it.

The plan? Create dating profiles for all five women on a matchmaking app called Second Chance.

What begins as a secret experiment soon opens the door to truths, risks, and possibilities none of them imagined. Because sometimes it takes a child’s love to spark the second chance you never saw coming.

Heartwarming, emotional, and full of healing and hope, this novella launches The Parent App series of small-town romances about single moms, lasting friendship, and the second chances we all deserve.
