My Best Friend’s Ex by Shannyn Schroeder a four-star read that will fill your dreams. This is the second novel in the Daring Divorcee series, but they truly can be read as stand-alone as I haven’t read the first and didn’t feel like I missed anything, I will go back and read it as I enjoyed the writing. Trevor was a great character, as you read his story, he will show you his true strength, he may stumble on his path, but his family will keep him strong. Callie gave some great passion to the story and some relief from what could otherwise be quiet a hard story. I am looking forward to the next novel I read by this author as she has a great way of bringing characters to life on the page.

My first by this author. I enjoyed the book, the plot and the characters . I look forward to more by this author. I would definitely recommend .

This is the second book in this series. I have to say that it was just as good as the first book. This book is about Trevor and Callie. Trevor was divorced from Lisa who was Callie's best friend. Lisa dies in a car accident and Trevor now has to step up or lose his kids. Trevor is having a really hard time dealing with everything and since he is a recovering alcoholic he finds it even more difficult. I found this book to be a really emotional read. With Trevor learning to deal with his kids and fighting not to lose control. Callie learning that it is okay to stand up and deal head on with life's problems instead of running away. Trevor and Callie trying really hard to not fall in love. I cannot wait to see who the next book in this series is about. Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

Trevor’s world is turned upside down when his ex-wife Lisa dies in a car accident. He goes from being a part-time dad with very little involvement in his kids lives to being the sole parent. On top of that he has to deal with his former in-laws who want his kids to move away to live with them. As a recover alcoholic, he is just trying to keep his life from spinning out of control.

Callie’s world is has also been turned on it’s ear. Lisa was Callie’s lifelong best friend, so she was stunned to receive Trevor’s call about Lisa’s death while working overseas. She returns to Chicago for the funeral and to help Trevor with the kids. The last thing either she or Trevor expect is the white hot chemistry they have between them. Can Callie find love with her best friend’s ex?

Wow, this started out as a tear jerker. It does have an hea. I especially loved this story cause it talked on how recovering alcoholics struggle. Not just with the drinking but about controlling what’s around them. Talking about with his family, Trevor was able to help his son understand that. I want to be callie, a world traveler and photographer, she is the glue that helps this family heal after the tragic lost of their mom. As the relationship between Callie and Trevor grows, they learn to trust each other. And that’s not always easy. With the help of his kids, Trevor may just get his girl in the end.

I like that this series shows something other than the bitter side of divorce. Trevor and Callie have been friends for so long that them consoling each other after Trevor's ex dies is an easy conclusion. I appreciate some of the topics that were touched on.

I received an advanced reader's copy of My Best Friend’s Ex by Shannyn Schroeder from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first novel that I had read by Shannyn Schroeder, but after reading, she is an author I would look for in the future.

Overall, I enjoyed this novel and I found it to be well written. The primary and secondary characters were nicely crafted and I empathized with them from the start.

From the summary, I knew this would deal with some more difficult topics - Lisa, the best friend of Callie (main female character) and ex-wife of Trevor (main male character), had passed away and left two young adults. As they deal with the loss of Lisa and all the angst it brings to each of them, Trevor and Callie fall in love.

Four stars!

I really enjoyed this book. Their was plenty of growth in each character and the relationship was a slow burn. We watched as two people who were in mourning found each other. They relied on each other and even though their relationship was one that was a bit awkward but totally adorable they fought to get to their happy ever after.

Callie was Lisa’s best friend. Callie was their for Lisa’s kids and stayed in her Coach house behind Lisa’s house. After a heartbreaking accident took Lisa from Callie and Trevor learned to live w/o Lisa.

Raising his two kids had always been his ex-wife’s job. He got them in the weekends but Lisa was always the main parent. When an accident happens and Trevor now has the kids full time, he has to learn everything plus balance out his meetings and his work. Being an alcoholic 7 yrs sober, Trevor has a lot to learn. When Callie and Trevor do it together nothing can stop them.

This was such a great story and one that you won’t want to put down.

*I was given a copy of this book by the author/publisher in exchange for my honest and voluntary review. Every opinion or thought was solely my own.*

This is an engaging story that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's not your typical 20somethings falling in love, instead it felt much more real than that. Both Trevor and Callie are 40something and bring their life experiences and foibles to the table when they are thrown together by the death of Trevor's ex-wife.

It was refreshing to read a novel with characters that have lived a real life and are fully formed adults and the depth of their characters made their story feel real and made me feel invested in their story.

If you are looking for a romance with a bit more depth, you will love this book. This is the second book I've read by this author and I can't wait to see what she writes next. I'm adding her to my must read authors' list.

This book is about Callie and Trevor. Callie is best friends with Lisa who is Trevor’s ex wife. Lisa passes away and Trevor and Callie fall in love. This book deals with love, loss, touched on alcoholism and parenting. It was good and well written. Overall I would give it 3 stars because it was a little redundant. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

This is Trevor and Callie book, trevor is the cool fun time every other weekend dad with two teenage kids ,until his ex-wife passes away in a car accident . Callie is his ex-wife‘s best friend, Callie also is A professional photographer and travels a lot she lives in the guesthouse behind his exes house so when her best friend passes away she’s right there to help with the kids. This book was really good I definitely enjoyed reading it ,it was hot , It was funny, low on the drama and angst a little heartbreaking at times but just an all-around decent read! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Trevor really doesn't hold anything back, “you really want to know?” She nodded and gulped water. “You looked ready to hump the sink.” She snorted and choked on her water." I liked this book, Callie and Trevor really did balance each other out.
