Jenny James is Not a Disaster was such a charming, heartwarming read!

Jenny’s life hasn’t been easy, but she’s always made the best of it for her son, Charlie. Life gets even harder when a rapid series of disastrous events occur, and she’s suddenly homeless and at risk of being jobless. Lucky for her, she has a knight in shining armor living next door! Luke is her reclusive neighbor who resides in a cozy motor home with his precious pup, Betty. Luke extends the offer of a cross-country trip to Jenny, and with few options available, Jenny takes him up on that. What follows is a journey of self-discovery, adventure, and relationships of every kind.

I adored this book! I loved the relationship between Jenny and Charlie, and it was delightful watching the three grow closer as they explored fun locations together. I also really liked that this book dived into some harder topics. Difficult relationships were explored in different ways, and single parenthood and loss were both handled with care and honesty. The romance was sweet and simple, but I thought it fit the tone of the book as a whole.

I highly recommend this one!

I absolutely adored this audiobook!

The story was sweet and the narrator was perfect. She really told the story in a way that I could visualize it in my mind.

Sometimes you have to almost lose it all to learn what is most valuable. After losing her home and job and with her son on his way to adulthood, Jenny is at a loss as to what’s next. Meeting up with their quiet neighbor Luke and his dog Betty. they set off on an adventure . Picking stopping places out of a hat. This becomes one wild ride for all three. Learning from and about each other. It’s hard not to do in such cramped quarters. This was a fun listen. The narrator did an excellent job. Thank you to NetGalley for this free advanced copy.
