The Bright Side of DisasterSometimes the worst thing that can happen is exactly what you've been waiting for. "Novels as polished and mature as The Bright Side of Disaster just don't come along very often from first time novelists or, for that matter, from those with much longer r sum s. . . . This story of a youthful but optimistic single mom rings bittersweet and utterly authentic." The Dallas Morning News Very pregnant and not quite married, Jenny Harris doesn't mind that

Sometimes the worst thing that can happen is exactly what you've been waiting for.

"Novels as polished and mature as The Bright Side of Disaster just don't come along very often from first-time novelists or, for that matter, from those with much longer r sum s. . . . This story of a youthful-but-optimistic single mom rings bittersweet and utterly authentic."--The Dallas Morning News

Very pregnant and not quite married, Jenny Harris doesn't mind that she and her live-in fianc , Dean, accidentally started their family a little earlier than planned. But Dean is acting distant, and the night he runs out for cigarettes and doesn't come back, he demotes himself from future husband to sperm donor. And the very next day, Jenny goes into labor.

In the months that follow, Jenny plunges into a life she never anticipated: single motherhood. At least with the sleep deprivation, sore boobs, and fits of crying (both hers and the baby's), there's not much time to dwell on her broken heart. And things are looking up: Jenny learns how to do everything one-handed, makes friends in a mommy group, and even gets to know a handsome, helpful neighbor. But Dean is never far from Jenny's thoughts or, it turns out, her doorstep, and in the end she must choose between the old life she thought she wanted and the new life she's been lucky to find.

Praise for The Bright Side of Disaster

"Beautifully penned and truly memorable . . . a heartwarming and deeply emotional debut."--BookPage

"The Bright Side of Disaster is a treat of a book. It is so warm, so smart, so touching, so wise-and, despite its poignancy, you read the whole thing with a laugh in your throat."--Anna Maxted, author of A Tale of Two Sisters

"A funny and poignant novel about love, motherhood and men . . . elevates the subject matter beyond the realm of 'mommy lit.' "--Houston Chronicle

Great customer service.
Glad I bought the protection. The vaccume worked great for a while then quit holding a charge. They refunded my purchase price (Amazon gift card).

Game changer..get one!
My floors had varying levels of dirt (think heavy traffic area vs lighter traffic areas) and the detection system masterfully targeted areas until they were super clean. This is a good value, time saving and elevated my quality of life.

Works great, might have to use distilled water if you have hard water
So far it's great! It uses a LOT of water on the first clean (and maybe also because of using the 'Freo' ai mode) you can use tap water, but in areas with hard water, you might need to go through a lot of distilled water. I think on future cleaning jobs it's supposed to use less water though. And you can adjust the cleaning level to a lower setting so that it doesn't use as much. The app takes a little while to get used to, because there are many options and menus. But still very nice to have and use. The vacuum has a dust bin with a very basic filter (needs replaced every 30 days if used), but if you want more of 'Hepa' clean air, you would have to use another type of vacuum before mopping. It also doesn't get close to the edges of some areas for some reason, even thought it could fit. Still, for what it is, it's a great product that will cut down on a lot of mopping time.

Worth every penny. Highly recommend!
To say I love my Narwal robotic mop and vacuum is an understatement—total game changer. I can’t imagine going back to any other robotic vacuum. I have two dogs, including a Jack Russell who sheds like Pig-Pen from Peanuts—basically a walking cloud of hair—and this thing handles it effortlessly. The vacuum + mopping combo is amazing, and it’s so easy to use and maintain. It truly does all the dirty work for me. I did have a small hiccup about two months in, but Narwal support helped me reset it quickly and it’s been perfect ever since (I definitely panicked for a minute 😅). Worth every penny. Highly recommend!
