IF YOU ASK ME

Libby Hubscher

When an advice columnist's picture-perfect life implodes, she opts to go rogue in this hilarious, heartwarming romance from the author of Meet Me in Paradise.

Violet Covington pens Dear Sweetie, the most popular advice column in the state of North Carolina. She has an answer for how to politely handle any difficult situation... until she discovers her husband, Sam, has been cheating on her. Furious and out of sensible solutions, Violet leaves her filter at the door and turns to her column to air her own frustrations. The new, brutally honest Dear Sweetie goes viral, sending more shock waves through Violet's life. When she burns Sam's belongings in a front-yard, late-night bonfire, a smoking-hot firefighter named Dez shows up to douse the flames, and an unexpected fling quickly shows potential to become something longer lasting. A lot of people want to see the old polished Violet return - including her boss, who finds her unpredictability hard to manage, and Sam, who's begging for another chance. But Dez appreciates Violet just the way she is - in fact, he can't get enough of her. The right answers don't come easily when Violet finds herself at her own personal crossroads. But maybe, by getting real, Violet can write her own happy ending. Libby Hubscher holds a doctor of philosophy in molecular toxicology and, when she isn't writing novels, works as a value communications writer for a health economics research boutique. She lives in North Carolina with her husband, two young children, and a menagerie of pets.

Hubscher alternates hilarity with probing explorations of healing and self-acceptance. It's an uplifting, insightful treat.

Brimming with hilarious moments and heartwarming characters.

A funny, feminist, feel-good novel about making mistakes, asking for advice, and writing your own happy ending. I laughed and I cried - this novel is an absolute joy!

A breezy, insightful and often laugh-out-loud funny story of a woman learning to confront life's messes, both the ones she inherits and the ones she chooses to make.

IF YOU ASK ME is full of southern charm and self- discovery. Libby Hubscher brings a light touch to heavy emotions in this witty novel about starting over in life and in love.

I didn't think Hubscher could top the heartfelt masterpiece that was Meet Me in Paradise, but IF YOU ASK ME is just as profound. I gasped, I ground my teeth, and I cheered along with Violet as she gathered the smashed pieces of her life and used them to build something better than before. Violet's journey is long and painful and achingly authentic. Hubscher doesn't shy away from the trauma of a broken marriage, but from the ashes, Violet slowly, painstakingly builds something beautiful. I loved it and will no doubt be rereading it many times over!
