Back in the day, I was an avid Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast fan. One of the hosts, Linda Holmes, is the author of the book I’m reviewing today. From the moment I heard Linda’s voice coming through my headphones, I knew I had found my people—she had the voice of an older sister who always has your back. And while I don’t listen to the podcast anymore, Linda still holds a special place in my heart.

Over the years, I had heard that Linda had written a book and that people really liked it, but for whatever reason, I never picked it up. Until last week—when I kicked myself for not reading Evvie Drake Starts Over sooner.
