Description
Bestselling author Melissa Storm reunites the members of the Sunday Potluck Club—and their canine companions—in a heartwarming story of friendship and second chances.
In the rapidly blooming courtyard beneath Bridget Moore’s new Anchorage apartment, the signs are unmissable: spring has come. As she unpacks boxes, Bridget hopes that she too is moving forward. With her tight schedule—college, working as a vet tech, volunteering at the animal shelter, caring for her beloved dogs—Bridget strives to keep too busy to register the pain of losing her mother just months ago.
Bridget’s new neighbor, Wesley, also seems to be running from something—quite literally. He and his two energetic dogs jog by twice a day. It isn’t long before she joins him. Bridget’s fellow members of the Sunday Potluck Club encourage her to enjoy Wesley’s company, though they understand all too well how tricky it can be to navigate life after loss.
But just as nature rebounds after the toughest winter, Bridget’s friendships, both human and canine, are a reminder that love and joy go on. With each outing, Bridget is rediscovering the simple pleasures that mean so much. A warm smile, a sun-drenched evening, a waggy tail—little by little, they may help Bridget find the path to happiness again . . .
Praise for The Sunday Potluck Club
“A poignant and touching story of friendship, love and healing. Perfect for your book club!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Barbara Freethy
“Readers seeking gentle romance and a touching story of recovering from loss will enjoy this start of a new series.” – Booklist
“Storm explores the healing power of friendship in this pleasant tale and series launch set in Anchorage, Alaska…While the book opens with a funeral, Storm’s sprightly story is anything but glum. She keenly portrays the characters’ myriad ways of grieving, while giving them opportunities to seize the day and make the most of life. This has plenty of verve and will easily capture the hearts of readers.”- Publishers Weekly

All Wesley wants to do is run with his dogs on an evening.
All Bridget wants to do is invite herself to Wesley’s run.
Together they form an unlikely friendship based on their mutual love of pets and running to avoid their real life problems.
Wednesday walks and wags is a beautiful story of growing up and understanding how pain and loss can change you and your outlook on life.
Bridget has never properly grieved the death of her cancer stricken mom and instead buries herself in new activities, taking so much on her plate that she may explode soon. Wesley on the other hand is standoffish and quite mysterious, avoiding the company of others.
With the help of her support system- Sunday Pot Luck crew, Bridget begins to accept that her future may take a different path than she originally intended and that it's okay to open her life and heart to new possibilities and maybe even her forever kiss.
Wednesday Walks and Wags is a heartwarming tale of what a family-napping, mint ice cream and a good cry can do!
My utmost appreciation to NetGalley and Kensington Books for providing me with an arc.
