A Girl's Guide to Moving On by Debbie Macomber Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this powerful and uplifting novel, a mother and her daughter-in-law bravely leave their troubled marriages and face the challenge of starting over.

When Nichole discovers that her husband, Jake, has been unfaithful, the illusion of her perfect life is indelibly shattered. While juggling her young son, a new job, and volunteer work, Nichole meets Rocco, who is the opposite of Jake in nearly every way. Though blunt-spoken and rough around the edges, Rocco proves to be a dedicated father and thoughtful friend. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Jake wagers everything on winning Nichole back—including their son Owen’s happiness. Somehow, Nichole must find the courage to defy her fears and follow her heart, with far-reaching consequences for them all.

Leanne has quietly ignored her husband’s cheating for decades, but is jolted into action by the echo of Nichole’s all-too-familiar crisis. While volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language, Leanne meets Nikolai, a charming, talented baker from Ukraine. Resolved to avoid the heartache and complications of romantic entanglements, Leanne nonetheless finds it difficult to resist Nikolai’s effusive overtures—until an unexpected tragedy tests the very fabric of her commitments.

An inspiring novel of friendship, reinvention, and hope, A Girl’s Guide to Moving On affirms the ability of every woman to forge a new path, believe in love, and fearlessly find happiness.

A girls guide to moving on..... LOVED IT!!!!

My top favorite!. What an amazing book!!! I could read it again!

Silly. I can't even finish this book. It's silly and I could care less about these characters, no depth, just plain silly and a bit annoyed with the "perfect" women the main characters are portrayed as. Blech!

Another emotional Debbie Macomber read!. An emotional read of a unique relationship between a mother & her daughter in law. This stand alone novel is a detailed account of a relationship between 2 women years apart facing the same issues. Leanne has lived with an unfaithful husband for years. The relationship comes to a head when she discovers her son Jake treating his wife, Nichole & son Owen the same way. Because Leanne always turned a blind eye, he thought Nichole would to. Debbie writes about the journey that Leanne & Nichole travel from leaving their spouses, filing for divorce & creating a new life for themselves. This unlikely pair support each other throughout the journey. Debbie manages to make sure you feel every emotion the characters feel. With Leanne we experience her torment & guilt from going against her son & husband to her pleasure in Nichole creating a new life for herself & Owen. Nichole feels guilty for depriving her son of the life he would have had if she had stayed with Jake. I couldn't put this book down! Just like any Debbie Macomber book I've ever read, I was so involved I stayed up until late in the night to finish it. I laughed, smiled, & cried buckets of tears! You won't be sorry if you purchase this book to read!

Sweet Novel!. A Girl’s Guide to Moving On by Debbie Macomber is a novel about women getting on with their life after divorce. Nichole Patterson and her mother-in-law Leanne Patterson have just divorced their husbands. They have moved into apartments next door to each other in Portland, Oregon. They have come up with what they call “A Guide to Letting Go and Moving On”. It is easier to say than to do. Nichole was married to Jake. They have a son, Owen. But then Jake (just like his father) cheated on Nichole with another woman and the other woman became pregnant. Jake has done everything possible to delay the divorce. They are still working out the details almost two years later. Nichole just wants to get on with her life. She is a substitute teacher and also volunteers at a dress shop that helps woman gets clothes who are going into the work force for the first time. Nichole meets Rocco Nyquist on day when her car goes into a ditch. Rocco is kind, hardworking, and a good man. Can the new relationship survive the interfering ex-husband? Leanne Patterson was married to her husband, Sean for thirty-five years and he cheated for the majority of the marriage. Leanne always looked the other way. Now she sees that it gave her son, Jake the wrong idea (that his wife would put up with it). Nichole gave her the courage to file for divorce (they did it together on the same day). Leanne is now living on her own (a first) and teaches English as a second language at the community center. It is in the class that Leanne meets Nikolai Janchenko from the Ukraine. He is a wonderful baker with a great personality. He cares very much for Leanne, but then Sean needs assistance. Will Leanne ever get happiness? She will need to have faith that everything will work out according to God’s will. A Girl’s Guide to Moving On was a sweet (though predictable) book. It was a beautifully, crafted novel. My interest was held throughout the whole book. It is easy to read with entertaining characters (especially Nikolai). The ending was just wonderful. Fans of Debbie Macomber will love A Girl’s Guide to Moving On. I give A Girl’s Guide to Moving On 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it, but I knew how it would end). There is just the right amount of faith and God in this novel (it is not pushy or in your in face). I received a complimentary copy of A Girl’s Guide to Moving On from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Waste of money. Reading about Leanne falling in love with a controlling immigrant was more than I could bear. This story was painful to get through and I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at the childish nature of the characters and the writing style

Emotional. "A Girl's Guide to Moving On" by Debbie Macomber. This is a story about a daughter in-law and her mother in-law. This is a different type story than I normally read. You have a unique situation where a daughter in-law files for a divorce because her husband was unfaithful. The mother in-law feels that she has done a disservice to her son by overlooking her husbands unfaithfulness. She files for a divorce too. Nichole's biggest supporter is her mother in-law. The daughter in-law, Nichole, and mother in-law Leanne end up dating very different men from the ones they had been married to. Will they be able to take a chance on love again? There are twists and turns that were unexpected in this story. After reading the story, you see the importance of forgiveness and that people can change. This is very different from the typical romance novels but I really enjoyed it. This novel goes much deeper plus you get two romances in one story. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley/Random House Publishing Group for an honest review.

A Girl's Guide to Moving on. Unique, wonderful book. Loved it!

A story of faith and starting over. I enjoyed this story much more than I thought I would. I've read many books by Debbie Macomber and have loved most of them. This is the second book in the New Beginnings series. I read the first one and liked it OK but there were parts that I felt were a bit "preachy." I know that Ms. Macomber is very open about her faith in God but I don't recall having faith mentioned quite so strongly before in one of her stories (other than maybe her "angel" series and her Christmas stories). This book brings faith into play as well but somehow it seemed to fit better for me. You don't need to have read the first book - Last One Home - to enjoy this one but the main characters are introduced in that story. A Girl's Guide to Moving on is told in first person POV with chapters alternating between Nichole and Leanne. I can't recall reading any other book by Ms. Macomber that was written in this style. Nichole and Leanne are starting over. Nicole was married to Leanne's son, Jake. Both Jake and his father were serial cheaters. When Leanne tells Nichole that Jake has been cheating on her she does so out of love because she doesn't want Nichole to be like her and turn a blind eye to what Jake is doing. She urges Nichole to break the cycle and not stay with Jake like she stayed with his father which she felt set a bad example for Jake. Nichole vows to leave Jake and set a better example for her son. When Nichole decides to leave Jake, Leanne knows that she also needs to break with her cheating husband. These two women have a close relationship - Nichole's parents are deceased - so they become each others support system in the new life they are creating. They develop a list of things to do and not do and that list becomes their "Guide to Moving On." I've never been divorced but people close to me have so I can sympathize with what these two are going through. I was really surprised by how this book made me feel; I was in tears many times while reading this. Because this is a story of hope and love I was pretty sure that these two would find new loves during the book. The men they meet and fall for are so different from their former husbands but they are good men. Nichole and Leanne's path to happiness is not smooth - both are faced with very difficult life-changing decisions - but reading the story of how they get there was inspiring. Once I got past the first couple of chapters I couldn't put this one down. *****Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions***** I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Moving On. A Girl's Guide to Moving on, by prolific author Debbie Macomber, is the story of two women who have left their cheating husbands and are seeking to move on with their lives. The unusual part of the relationship is that the two women are Nichole Patterson and her former mother-in-law, Leanne Patterson. Having been part of the country club set, they are now living in apartments in downtown Portland across the hall from each other. It is now two years since they left their husbands, and the ladies have made great strides in creating new lives for themselves. Nichole is working as a substitute teacher as she proves herself to become a full time teacher. She also volunteers at a clothing store that helps women dress for success as they prepare to get into the workforce and is a doting mother to three year old Owen. It is after a day of volunteering that she has a mishap with her car and tow truck driver Rocco Nyquist comes to her aid. Tall, muscled, and tattooed, Rocco has a checkered past but has changed his life and is a good father and smart business owner. Leanne has also found her way to the classroom as a volunteer English as a second language teacher. Her students are eager and Leanne looks forward to her classes. And she is becoming especially fond of one student who meets her before each class with fresh baked bread. Nikolai Janchenko, from Ukraine, has become a star student and is looked up to by his peers. This story follows Leanne and Nichole as they navigate the uncharted waters of being single and on their own. Things become complicated by their exes, both of whom seem to be unnerved by the ladies' successes. One thing the ladies definitely learn is that a polished exterior may shield a tarnished heart, that looks can often be quite deceiving. A smart, amusing, touching story, please enjoy the journey as Leanne and Nichole find their way, creating their Girl's Guide to Moving On as they go. I certainly did!

Don’t waste your moneyT. This book has the plodding pace and simplistic theme of her early works and reads like an edited rewrite of an outdated manuscript. None of the skill and grace of her other recent books and series. Pendantic, boring,repetitive, forgettable.

Loved it.. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Love It!. Another fantastic book by Debbie Macomber, she never disappoints.

Hope. I listened to the audio version of this book. I can see why Debbie was reluctant to leave Nicoli and Rocco. Such sweet men to women who needed them and deserved them completely. Fantastic book. Thank you!

Readers Beware. Once you open this book you will be totally indulge you won't want to put it down. Enjoy!!

Great read!. Maybe Debbie’s best book ever; and I have read a lot of her books! Loved the friendships and family love and support. Rocco may be my favorite- especially his texts!

Moving on with life. I was only going to read for a bit. Before I knew it, I had reached the end. The story had me laughing, cheering, swearing, and crying, both happy and sad. I loved the strength of both Nichole and Leanne, going through with their divorces and dealing with the fall out. Only related by marriage, they became the other's support and sounding board. Life from the point of view of an older woman as well as a younger one was very interesting. The men, Jake and Sean, that they left behind continued to disrupt their lives. Rocco and Nikolas brought the sun back into their lives. Debbie Macomber pulled me into the ups and downs experienced by Nichole and Leanne, and I highly recommend this book. I had a chance to read this through Netgalley.
