Description
Harkening to the witty and swoon-worthy rom-coms of Christina Lauren and Kate Clayborn, a new enemies-to-lovers romp whisking us from the stress of city life to lush Caribbean beaches. Sasha Rubinstein is not on her game. Parenting with an absent (and objectively douchey) ex has never been easy, but, lately, the judgmental side-eye from people at school pick-up feels extra. It doesn’t help that some entitled dad—with his perfect t-shirts and perfectly punchable (yet adorable) face—keeps stealing the last after-school spots and school hoodies out from under her. Ethan Jones is not trying to trip Sasha up… at school or otherwise. In fact, ever since they met (which she promptly forgot), he’s been hoping for the exact opposite…or at least to stop thinking about her. When a game-changing job lands them trapped together on an exclusive private island, they resolve to stop sniping at each other and keep things professional. But with tension building between them and the permeating intoxication of island time, temptation blows in on every tropical breeze. Read more

getting what you deserve
Sasha Rubenstein is a single mom of two great kids. Her ex-husband is a screenwriter/director who has left Brooklyn for L.A. and basically never came back. He makes sure that the Sasha and the kids get his monthly checks, but otherwise he is too busy with Hollywood meetings and kale smoothies to worry about them. So Sasha takes care of the morning school drop-offs and the afternoon pick-ups and everything in between, including her freelance video production. She is trying her hardest to keep all the plates spinning, but it’s like the universe is working against her. Sasha never got the reminder her son’s Silly Sock Day, and when they showed up at school and realized, he was distraught. When she needed a school hoodie for her daughter for the upcoming Spirit Day, she was just a minute too late to get the last medium. And she signed her daughter up for Friday afternoon drama class, but somehow she was unenrolled and a dad—that same Demon Dad—had snagged it for his daughter. But he does kind of make up for some of that when he jumps in to help her at the Monster’s Ball. Sasha had signed up for the photo booth with her friend Celeste, but somehow that had gotten lost and she’d been assigned to work the worst booth—the cotton candy. She’d been working the booth alone, taking the tickets and fighting the cotton candy machine, while having the longest lines. But Demon Dad had taken over the machine so Sasha could take the tickets and get less cotton candy in her hair. Sasha has to admit that Demon Dad, Ethan, as it turns out, is maybe not as bad as she’d first thought. And then, when Sasha gets a call about a freelance job, she finds out it would be a great opportunity for her. She’ll be producing a video shoot on a remote island of a new resort that is preparing to open. They will be the first group of visitors to the pristine resort, and if the shoot goes well, this assignment could mean a permanent job for her. She’d have a steady income and benefits, and it would make life easier for her and her kids. But once she gets to the island, she meets the one member of the team she hadn’t met back in New York, the editor-in-chief of the magazine she’s shooting for. Ethan. As Sasha and Ethan get to know each other better, in a tropical paradise, no less, they can’t deny the chemistry that is swirling around them. But Sasha really wants the full-time job and doesn’t want to do anything that might blow her chances. She’s left her kids in Brooklyn with a good friend, but Sasha can tell that her friend is having some issues in her own life. Sasha’s mother has been having memory problems, and she can no longer deny that something is wrong there. And while Sasha was surprised to find out that Ethan was part of the video team she’d been hired for, she is absolutely blindsided to learn who his ex-wife is. And yet, Sasha is still drawn to the man. With how complicated life is as a single mom, is it possible to still find love and joy? Can flirting with your boss ever be a good idea? Sasha can’t help but wonder if life will always be hard and filled with impossible problems, or will she finally get what it is she most deserves? Pick-Up is a sweet, amazing novel about life after divorce. It’s complicated and warm, flirtatious and funny, with characters who seem very real and compelling. It’s a rom com for grownups, like a good Nancy Meyers film, where you can hunker down on the sofa with a soft blanker and a tasty beverage and lose yourself in a story for hours. It’s told in three alternating viewpoints, showing the school drop-offs and pick-ups as a bit of a soap opera, in all the best ways. I adored Pick-Ups. It was exactly the book I was looking for when I picked it up. It has laugh-out-loud moments as well as moments of peace on a tranquil remote island. There is flirting and awkwardness, imperfections and impulsiveness, and a whole lot of love for family. If you’re a fan of Annabel Monaghan, then you will love Nora Dahlia too, as these rom coms for parents will warm your heart and rock your hammocks. Egalleys for Pick-Up were provided by Gallery Books through NetGalley, with many thanks.

A Delightful Time!
I had a really delightful time reading Pick-Up by Nora Dahlia. Our leads, Sasha and Ethan, are so charming. Especially Sasha! I love how relatable is and tangible she feels. From her snarky bites, to her flustered runaway moments, to her fierce protectiveness over her loves one-- I adored and admired her. Then there's Ethan with his hilarious to-do lists, I looked forward to them each and every time him POV showed up! Individually they are fire crackers, and together? Total fireworks! While Sasha and Ethan led this book gorgeously, there’s something else the narrative does with POVs that is quite intriguing. It’s not advertised in the blurb so I won’t mention it, but when it first happens I was a bit thrown back. I wondered: is this going to turn into a romance suspense? No, it doesn’t— but what the POVs do is very, very clever. In fact, when a certain reveal is done, it feels so natural that I went ”of course!” rather than scratching my head in confusion. Because it made such perfect sense. I didn’t catch it as it was happened, but once it did— all the clues were so clearly and carefully placed throughout the story. These are always my favorite type of reveals— even if it’s not in your face, if you turn around, you’ll find the breadcrumb path that led to it. Overall, I loved this book for both showcasing personal journeys and building up a lovely romance. I would have liked moments shared that included Sasha and Ethan’s respective children, but at the same time I appreciated how the narrative brought them forth not just as parents, but as people who their own evolving likes, dislikes, dream, and goals. This is their love story. I also love how this book is led by characters close or over 40. How just because they're nearing what’s considered “middle age” doesn’t mean their personal lives are done. That they aren’t still learning lessons, finding love, embracing a new self, and so on. It doesn’t mean that just because you’re getting older, you’re done with life. There’s plenty left to learn— and so much left to live. We see that from each POV— there’s a life to be had, and it's one that still has growing pains, along with all the joy, excitement, thrills, and peace. If we so choose to claim it. That message is one of such poignancy, and it’s what I walked away from after the last page was turned. There is still life waiting for us, every year that comes and goes, there’s still personal happiness to be grab, hold on to, to cherish. If you love romances and great personal journeys— and older leads! — be to sure pick up Pick Up (hehe)!
