Evvie Drake Starts Over: A Novel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â€¢Â #ReadWithJenna Book Club Pick as Featured on Today â€¢Â â€œEverything a romantic comedy should be: witty, relatable, and a little complicated.â€â€”People

From the host of NPRâ€™sÂ Pop Culture Happy HourÂ podcast comes a heartfelt debut about the unlikely relationship between a young woman whoâ€™s lost her husband and a major league pitcher whoâ€™s lost his game.

In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth â€œEvvieâ€ Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husbandâ€™s death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesnâ€™t correct them.

Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andyâ€™s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the â€œyipsâ€: he canâ€™t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he canâ€™t figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Deanâ€™s future.

When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evvieâ€™s house, the two make a deal: Dean wonâ€™t ask about Evvieâ€™s late husband, and Evvie wonâ€™t ask about Deanâ€™s baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being brokenâ€”and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pastsâ€”the friendships theyâ€™ve damaged, the secrets theyâ€™ve keptâ€”but in life, as in baseball, thereâ€™s always a chanceâ€”up until the last out.

A joyful, hilarious, and hope-filled debut, Evvie Drake Starts Over will have you cheering for the two most unlikely comebacks of the yearâ€”and will leave you wanting more from Linda Holmes.
