Book Synopsis
I turned to him, and he winked at me. Winked! We needed clear lines in place between us. We would not be flirty friends. We'd be friends, period. The sooner I made that distinction, the better.
Forty-year-old Kate Landry's carefully planned life has become as messy as the powdered sugar on her famous beignets. Juggling the responsibilities of running her café, raising her teenage niece, and the emotional baggage from her breakup, Kate finds her world once again turned upside down when her first-ever crush, Micah Guidry, returns to town as the hunky local librarian.
As Kate struggles to implement her plans to expand her café amid the New Orleans Mardi Gras madness and the meddling of her conniving ex-fiancé, Micah becomes the unwitting hero of her misadventures, stirring up feelings she thought she'd long buried. How can falling in love in the Big Easy be this hard?

My Review
Kate Landry is a 40-year-old single mother who runs a restaurant and faces life's daily challenges. This romantic comedy finds humor in life's awkward moments, especially since Kate often seems unlucky. She has raised her niece, Hayley, since she was two, after her sister and brother-in-law passed away. It's refreshing to see main characters in their 40s who have already learned to handle life's ups and downs. Micah, her childhood friend who once kissed her in seventh grade, reappears and changes everything for Kate.
Much of the story focuses on Kate’s past, including her relationship with her former fiancé Ryan, her stressful relationship with her mother, and her struggles raising Hayley, now a teenager. When Micah returns, he brings both happiness and complications. I admired Micah’s patience, kindness, faith, and selflessness. He proved to be the man Kate really needed.
Kate Landry Has a Plan is filled with many emotions: humor, sadness, regret, and forgiveness. I really enjoyed this well-written novel that shows life rarely goes as planned. Still, happiness and hope can shine through even during tough times.
