Elora speaks openly about her relationships across all dynamics. She reveals nuances that expose her insecurities and resultant growth with naïve honesty. Elora shows us how she copes with mother-guilt, people-pleasing and intimacy with an unusual blend of insight, pain and resolution. Her candid disclosures are sometimes sombre, sometimes humorous, always enlightening.
My blog is probably the best to add :

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Elora Canne for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Oh Elora Canne, your book Love & Laughter (and other disasters) was a breath of fresh air compared to the psychological thrillers I am used to reading!! Your book put a koolaid smile on my face, many times gave me a chuckle or two, and gave me an eye opening look at dating when I get older.
Amber Grosjean did an incredible job designing Elora’s cover for her book. It was absolutely stunning and with bright beautiful colors. It was an eye-catching cover that makes you want to know more about the book.
My heart broke for Meryl who lost her husband Arthur and was conflicted if she should pursue happiness with someone else this late in life. What would her daughter think of this turn of events? Would she approve?
I laughed that she wrote a pro/con list of why she should or should not date him.
Elora not only let Meryl express her feelings but Louis got to express his anxieties as well that was refreshing to see.
This is an adorable, cute, fast paced read, one sitting read.
