Meet Prinny, Chelsea and Diana. Prinny is the owner of Cosmos, a shop that sells crystals, potions, candles, and hope. It’s also a place where no one turns down a little extra-special cocktail that can work as a romance potion or heal a broken heart. But Prinny is in love with her married lawyer and she’ll need nothing short of magic to forget about him. Chelsea works as a living statue at tourist sites around Washington, DC. It's a thankless job, but it helps pay the rent. That, and her part-time job at Cosmos. As her dream of becoming a successful actress starts to seem more remote and the possibility of being a permanently struggling one seems more realistic, Chelsea begins to wonder: at one point do you give up on your dreams? And will love ever be in the cards for her? Diana Tiesman is married to Leif, a charismatic man who isn’t faithful. But no matter how many times he lets her down, Diana just can't let him go. She knows the only way she can truly breakaway is if she leaves and goes where he will never think to follow. So she ends up at Cosmos with Leif’s stepsister, where she makes her homemade teas and tinctures as she figures out whether she'd rather be lonely alone than lonely in love. In One Less Problem Without You, three women suddenly find themselves together at their own very different crossroads. It will take hope, love, strength and a little bit of magic for them to find their way together.

My Review:
This book centers around the life of three women, Diana, Prinny, and Chelsea. and how truly connected they are. And reading the plot of this book I was very interested plus I had read a few pages in If I Could Turn Back Time by the same author.
I adored Prinny Tiesman and how she just wanted to have her shop, Cosmos. Like I would love to go there. It sounded like such a fun place to visit. Though I also liked Diana and Chelsea.
Though what I loved about this book was the ending. The fact that that evil cowardly guy died was the cherry on to of this story.

The thing that I hated was the flashbacks and the mixed point of views of the characters. And how the summary wasn't like the book at all. I hated how Chelsea didn't tell Diana or Prinny what had happened to her and how disgusting Leif was and how I definitely knew that it was him that hurt Chelsea because it was obvious.
I kinda expected more to this story too. I know it was an unfinished version but having had read 100 something pages in one of Beth Harbison's books, the one I mentioned above, I thought it would be more like that a bit less confusing and a bit more interesting. This was almost like a Lifetime movie and I much prefer Hallmark movies. And I don't think I would read it again.
