Description
After thirty years of parenting and three years of drifting through life in her empty nest, Paige Rhiann has become the honorary spokesperson for the word "doldrums". But things are about to change. When Paige is presented with the chance of a lifetime to make a fresh start in Clearwater, Florida, she decides it's as good a time as any to find out who she is—and who she can become—in this new phase of her life.
On her first day out with the local golf club's ladies league, she meets three women who immediately see in her a kindred spirit. This motley crew of ride or die women from all ages and walks of life pull Paige into their circle of friends, and one by one help her not only embrace her Second Act, but shine in her new role.
Fans of Elin Hilderbrand's The Five-Star Weekend and readers who enjoy empty nest fiction and stories of deep, abiding devotion among strong women will find themselves engrossed in this story of friendship, hope, and the joy that can be found on the other side of Everything You've Ever Known.
Advance Praise
It is a sweet story about losing yourself and slowly being reminded about your worth through your "people's" love, care, and commitment. As a mom, daughter, and friend, I get it! You lose little bits and pieces of yourself along the way... however, finding the light in your soul again to continue and live your best chapters—well, that takes courage and love for oneself.
The narrative is both touching and inspiring, showcasing the power of love, life, and friendship. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always a flicker of light within us waiting to be rekindled. The characters are well-developed, and their relationships are portrayed with a genuine warmth that makes you root for them every step of the way.

This was such a cute novel.
I could relate wholeheartedly to Paige who is the main character.
I laughed at one scene that Kat's boys did. I tickled me pink! Actually made my day!
I also laughed at a few other scenes too.
These women quickly become my friends.
They've taught me a lot and made me stop to think as well.
Paige is my favorite character. I loved watching her "bloom" so to speak through these wonderful women.
They reminded me of the Boosom Buddies.
But anyways, this book was a fun read and I didn't want it to end.
I think the title is what made me want to read this cool book.
I'm going through everything thing that Paige is and was. Empty nesting isn't no fun at all!
I loved how it was told from Paige's POV too. She made it that much more fun to read.
I just really enjoyed it! I lost sleep but it was oh so worth it!
5 stars for life outside of empty nesting! I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this wonderful adventure. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

This is a unique story about an empty nester who has essentially lost herself along the way and then is slowly being reminded of her worth.
I feel that I am not the target market for this book, however, everyone likes a feel good story.
The story is touching but also powerful, and it reminds us that we all still have that spark, somewhere.
Thank you NetGalley and Halo Publishing Group for my E-ARC.

This book was defiantly one of my top books read this year! It was just so good. I loved the main character. I adored the setting and the journey the book took the readers on. Well done!

This was an incredibly heartfelt read about a woman who lost herself along the way, ended up divorced with adult children. Many women go through this on a daily basis so this was a powerful read.

The beauty of change
Paige has been depressed since her last child left home for college, which followed her other child leaving and her husband declaring he no longer wanted to be married. She can barely get herself out of bed, finds no meaning in life and is seriously worrying her best friend of 45 years, Kari.
When the stars align, Paige has a chance to shake up her life by housesitting for her Uncle Mike, at the same time that Kari and her family need a place to live. So, Paige moves to Florida and Kari moves into her house for a while. Paige's move does more than just change her address, though, she finds a whole new lease on her life, new friends and a new mindset for opportunities. I loved that the women all support each other through everything, and that Paige was a strong woman. I think that any woman who has had to evaluate their life and make changes will enjoy this book,
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.
