Review
Surprise… Swipe Right by Rhonda M. Lawson is such a sweet and uplifting story about love showing up when you least expect it. I really enjoyed following Miss Loretta a strong, stylish widow who’s perfectly content with her life until her daughter signs her up for a dating app. Watching Loretta step outside her comfort zone was funny, tender, and surprisingly relatable. The story captures that feeling of hesitation we all have when life pushes us into something new, but it does it with warmth, humor, and so much heart.
What I really enjoyed was how the author reminds us that love doesn’t have an expiration date. The New Orleans setting adds charm and soul, and the family dynamic makes the whole thing feel real. It’s a quick read, but it leaves you smiling and believing that second chances are always possible no matter your age. If you’re looking for something light, heartfelt, and full of good vibes, Surprise… Swipe Right is the perfect cozy pick-me-up.
