This book is a series of stories about the life of Olive Kitteridge and the people in her community. Main themes include loss and navigating complicated relationships/people. Although, I wouldn't stay the characters are loveable, an empathetic reader cannot help but feel the sadness of these characters lives. The story is centered on average people and in that vain the plot and the character development are some what predictable. The writing was very enjoyable and the "mundane" plot provides a foundational element for the normalcy of the characters in the book.
