    About this audiobook

    From the author of the bestselling Waverly Bryson series.

    Daphne White is staring down the barrel of forty—and is distraught at what she sees. Her ex-husband is getting remarried, her teenage daughter hardly needs her anymore, and the career she once dreamed about has somehow slipped from her grasp. She’s almost lost sight of the spirited and optimistic young woman she used to be.

    As she heads off to a Caribbean island to mark the new decade with her best friends from college, Daphne’s in anything but the mood to celebrate. But when she meets Clay Hanson, a much younger man, she ignores her inner voice warning her that she’s too old for a fling. In fact, this tropical getaway might be the perfect opportunity to picture her future in a new sun-drenched light.

    With the help of her friends, Daphne rediscovers her enthusiasm for life, as well as her love for herself—and realizes that her best years are still ahead.

      I am familiar with this author's Waverly Bryson series. I did see some of that same humor in this book. Skylar and KC are the best of friends that any woman could ask for. They had each other's back including Daphne's and they were like ying and yang. So between the three women they were the perfect balance. I loved that not only Daphne but all three women opened up and showed their fun personalities. I loved them all so much that I wanted to be a part of their group. Daphne and Clay were charming together. It felt natural what they shared. Age is just a number and not what defines you. Daphne showed this with Clay. Although, I think that what worked for them was Daphne's age. She was mature and that is what Clay was looking for. No more plain vanilla for Daphne. Wait for the Rain is a marvelous read filled with fun characters, charm, romance, laughs, and friendship.
