What would you change if you had to start your life—and love life—over again?
When Emma Harris wakes up from a coma she learns that her fiancé and her BFF have fallen in love, she’s lost her job, and the life she knew is gone. Overwhelmed but grateful to be alive she starts over from scratch. Not as easy as it sounds, of course. But she’s never been a quitter, even if she wishes she could quit rehab, where her hot but evil physical therapist, Simon, puts her through the wringer.
Eager for a new beginning, Emma opens a doggy day care. Unfortunately, the only space she can afford is owned by her childhood nemesis Ali Pratt. But hey, she’s been through worse, right? She tries to roll with the punches, but a friend drops his grandpa off at the doggy day care in desperation then on top of that, she and Ali bring the term ‘frenemies’ to a whole new level. And then another grandparent shows up. And another.
In the midst of all that, Emma realizes she’s accidentally fallen for Evil PT. But the most horrifying thing of all is that Ali just might have turned into the best friend she’s ever had. And as Emma grows from the pain of her past and takes on her new path, she comes to realize that life isn’t what you’re given, it’s what you make of it.

What I thought about Love For Beginners
Jill Shalvis once again does a great job delivering the seventh story in this Wildstone series. Part women's fiction, part romance, I'm always enchanted with the heroes and heroines (and family) of the little coastal town of Wildstone.
Emma is recovering from a serious accident which included months in a coma, multiple surgeries and hours of physical therapy. There's a broken engagement, too. But she's making progress physically and mentally post accident.
Simon has been working just as hard as Emma. His dad is recovering from two strokes, and keeps Simon on his toes and tired. His cousin Alison helps out whenever she can. I really loved the family dynamic here and how loyalty was important to them.
And everyone can see that Emma and Simon have strong feelings for each other, but both Simon and Emma have things holding them back that need to be resolved. I did love Emma's strong attitude and sense of self as Simon makes some questionable decisions for both of them.
What I really loved in this story was Alison and Emma's story. Alison's journey as an introvert was one I think resonated with me the most. I loved how their friendship developed and there's some great banter and some real caring between these two. The lessons learned from Paw Pals are pretty amazing too.
Overall, I'd give this a 4.5 stars if I could. I loved the relationships in Love for Beginners, especially the friendship between Alison and Emma. Another entertaining story in the Wildstone series.
