A funny, warmhearted novel about falling in love, falling apart, and pulling it all together again by the bestselling author of Matchmaking for Beginners. After three marriages and a lot of living, resilient Billie Slate knows exactly what trouble love can bring. Now she' s reinvented herself as the Heartbreak Bunny, an on-call performance artist who can heal anyone who' s been burned by that four-letter word, LOVE, by hopping about and whisking away sad mementos from their past relationships. Call it magic. Call it peculiar. But her bunny costume is as perfect as her breakup mantra: SNAP OUT OF IT. As Billie' s business goes viral and skyrockets her to sudden fame, her comfortable life turns surreal: her daughter' s marriage begins to fail, and Victor, aka Worst Husband Ever, wants not only to bond with the daughter he left but to win Billie back. Only, he' s got competition: a charming widower might be falling in love with a woman who no longer believes in love. As every romantic notion Billie had pushed away starts pushing back, the Heartbreak Bunny must confront the possibility that, just maybe, love has some tricks left up its sleeve.
"Snap Out of It is a laugh-out-loud delight from start to finish with characters that are drawn with a unique wisdom and insight into human nature. My heart is full, and I am still smiling. I absolutely loved this book. " -Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script"Maddie Dawson has a rare ability to craft quirky, offbeat characters that are also utterly believable. Dawson is at the top of her game with Snap Out of It, a magical, wise, tender, joyously relatable read. From the moment Billie the Heartbreak Bunny stepped onto the page, I felt as though I' d met a soulmate. There is only a handful of authors whose name on the cover elicits from me an automatic buy; Maddie Dawson is one of them. " -Marie Bostwick, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Restoration of Celia Fairchild"Maddie Dawson' s Snap Out of It is as delightful as it is original. Protagonist Billie Slate is on a one-woman mission to rid the world of unnecessary heartbreak-while dressed in a bunny suit. The consequences are both messy and magical. Dawson has given us an utterly charming story that manages to be both light and profound; it is a clear-eyed and sometimes laugh-out-loud look at the complications of grown-up love with an important lesson at its heart: healing is always possible when we keep our heart open to the possibilities of love. " -Barbara Davis, bestselling author of The Keeper of Happy Endings"Maddie Dawson just gets better and better. I utterly adored this fast-paced, big-hearted beauty of a book! It' s bursting with light and humor and hope, guaranteed to cure your blues or heartbreak or just make your day bright. I wish there was a Billie in everybody' s life. " -Barbara O' Neal, USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids"Maddie Dawson has done it again. Snap Out of It is the enchanting story of a woman on a mission to ease the pain of the lonely hearted while dealing with her own lifelong loves and losses. The modern mother-daughter relationship will sit in your head for weeks. Delightful and magical, Snap Out of It will snap you out of it-with the perfect witty and light-hearted book club read. " -Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Crazy to Leave You and Husbands and Other Sharp Objects"Where has Billie the Heartbreak Bunny been all my life? Maddie Dawson' s latest novel will have you arguing against the title only because you will want to fall deeper in rather than snapping out of it. Filled with heart, healing, laughter, and the complexities of modern families, Snap Out of It is a warm blanket of a novel that will make you believe in love and second chances at any age. " -Sara Goodman Confino, author of She' s Up to No Good"I was in at the premise: a sixty-year-old woman in a bunny suit hopping into people' s houses to remove the detritus of lost love so they can snap out of grief and get on with their lives? Yes, please. But wait-it gets better! Add in a supporting cast of delightfully quirky (but deeply human) characters, family drama, and an unexpected (and unwanted) romance, all sparkling with Dawson' s trademark touches of magic and found family, and you' ve got an absolute winner. Snap Out of It is a wise, funny, heartfelt novel filled with complex relationships and whimsical surprises-a book that leaves you better than it found you. Love it. " -Kerry Anne King, bestselling author of Improbably Yours
