About
This is the revised Second Edition of Flirting with a New Life with new cover designed by Heather Mihalic.
It's nearing the one-year anniversary of her husband leaving her, and Kelly (a fiction writer and single mom) is currently experiencing writer’s block. She’s received a grant for writing, and (according to her sister) she needs to finish her latest writing project in six months or risk running out of money. Kelly needs to focus on writing, but she feels stuck and distracted. And the writer's block is causing her to worry that she won't finish her project in time. Does she really want to deal with this new life? She's not sure, so she does everything in her power to avoid actually writing. In the process, Kelly finds herself flirting with random strangers and getting herself into wacky situations. Her two best friends and sister are her sounding boards as she tries to figure out how to heal her heart so that she can find her confidence, remember that she’s still her old self, and write. But will that happen before time (and money) runs out?

The over-arching theme Jill Cullen explores in her novels is the connections that people make with each other—whether it be between friends, families, or love relationships. Her stories are immersive and are often told through realistic dialogue.
Praise for this book
"Flirting with a New Life is addictive."
"This was the most wholesome, funny, feel-good book ever. The plot culminated into the perfect ending, one that had me cheering for Kelly (and also simultaneously very emotional). The final message was like a salve to the wounded heart to anyone who has ever been hurt by someone they love. I found myself relating to the ex-experiences, and the crazy world of dating (I never want to be back there. Ever). And it came full circle! I love when books come full circle.
Other things worth mentioning:
Evan is the cutest cinnamon bun.
I loved the biblical name references throughout the book.
Some of those one-liners! YASS!
Every time it could have taken a dark turn, it didn’t. I appreciate that. The world is dark enough. It was refreshing. Like drinking a cold root beer after a long day in the summer sun."
