Relatively Crazy

Wanda Jo Ashton is stunned when on her fortieth birthday, her husband, Reed, leaves her penniless and goes off with a much-older but much wealthier woman. Wanda spent twenty years of her life trying to be the best wife to Reed, but she has nothing to show for it. The only option left for her and her daughter is to go back to the one place she tried so hard to leave behind all those years ago – home.

Wanda finds that a lot of things have changed in the time she was away, including her. But some things are the same – her friendship with Vic, and of course, her gorgeous neighbor and childhood friend, Sam Branson. And maybe, life may just give her a second chance at her happy forever after.

After devouring a couple of dark, intense psychological thrillers one after the other, a witty, fun, entertaining read was just what I was looking for. I loved the fact that this was not a typical boy-meets-girl romance, but more a story about friendship, family, and believing in yourself. If you are looking for a pick-me-up, you cannot go wrong with this book!

Wanda’s Jo Ashton keeps bumping into wall after wall of obstacles and she’s can’t see the answers to some peace and happiness are right in front of her until she has time to see all sides of the picture.

This was a great book and Olivia, Val, Reed, and Sam added such color to the story! My favorite characters were Wanda Jo, Sam, and Olivia with just the right mix of wonder, warmth, and anticipation! This book gets 5 stars! It’s really good!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for a honest review

Relatively Crazy was a fun, light, quirky story, that was a bit more chick lit than romance but I still liked it, I just would have loved it if there was more romance. This story starts out with Wanda Jo getting dumped by her husband for an older woman, so she runs back home. It took me a few chapters to start to like Wanda Jo but as soon as she started to realize a few insights about her life and stop having a pity party I really enjoyed her and her story. This story had humor and interesting character's I'm looking forward to seeing what else this author comes up with.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Relatively Crazy is a very good book. I found this book to be well written. I enjoyed the plot, setting and the quirky cast of characters.

Truly enjoyable cast of characters with more than a fair few laughs.

Relatively Crazy is a laugh out loud chick lit story.

Wanda Jo (Ashton) left her small home town hoping to escape her low income lifestyle by Marrying Up. 20 years later, on her 40th birthday, Wanda Jo is dumped by her husband on a talk show no less! To top it off, he’s dumping her for a wealthy, older woman (15 years older than Wanda Jo), and he leaves Wanda Jo with no money! He’s Marrying Up himself!

Desperate, Wanda Jo and her 16 year old daughter return to her hometown to try and figure out how to move forward. Wand Jo thinks her husband will come to his senses and come get the 2. I was getting annoyed with her reliance on her husband and throwing herself a fairly long pity party. But she snapped out of it, and I started to enjoy her story as she determines a new and different path than she had envisioned for herself and her daughter.

I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more!

Relatively Crazy by Ellen Dye is a wonderful look at family and while we all have our eccentric ways at times, we can all love each other.

She saves her money and moves to San Francisco landing a job as an office assistant where she meets her knight, a lawyer with the firm. She marries him and spends the next twenty years living happily ever after. Then her prince decides to leave and her and their daughter are left with nothing. How will she start over?

I loved this book. It is very funny, at times laugh out loud, and the characters are really well done. I can just see them all. There is a sweet romance going on along with all the craziness of family and their unique personalities. I totally enjoyed this book from beginning to end! I give it 5 of 5 stars. I recommend it to everyone who enjoys a comedic romance.
