"Confidence comes from knowing that whatever the situation, you know you'll make the best of it. Confidence is certainty in your ability to rise."
I kept hearing great things about Maggie Moves On, so I decided to give in and finally read the story myself. I've been meaning to try Lucy Score's writing for a while now, and I have to say that I definitely understand why so many people seem to love her books. True, the smut was without a doubt WAY too much and WAY too open door for me. I can't deny that there was skimreading involved, and those scenes were the main reason I ended up docking a star. BUT. I did love the rest of the story. While things can be said about certain aspects of the descriptions of both Silas and Maggie being incredibly cliche, there was also something about them that made it very easy to warm up to them. Maggie Moves On also has such a great cast of side characters, and the overall dynamics worked really well. And Kevin! I loved how the dog just kept popping up (and totally stealing the show at times). There were quite a few elements incorporated into the plot besides the romance, but I personally really enjoyed how everything was woven together. And who doesn't love a bit of a treasure hunt and historical mystery?! I definitely want to try more of her stories in the future.

Not enough of the dog (who is described as brindle in the book so…). The best character is a curmudgeonly towns person.
Dual pov but there’s only one narrator 😕
4/5 🌶️
