2.5

I really liked Evvie Drake so I was excited to read another Linda Holmes book but this fell a bit flat for me. I didn’t find the main plot all that interesting nor was I very excited about the love story. I give it 2.5 because I didn’t dnf and it was funny at times and the main character had some relatable qualities but overall a very forgettable book

I liked the writing, but found the story to be a bit lackluster. I also hate the whole “OMG I’m going to be 40” cliche and the repeated insinuation that being a size 18 is a major hurdle, even if the character is ok with it. 🤷🏻

I did like the side characters. Books about Dot and Ginger, please!

Journalist Laurie has been living life on her own terms in Seattle. This was her plan all along after growing up in a noisy, busy house with four brothers. She returns to her small hometown in Maine to help settle the estate of her great aunt, Dot, taking the burden off her parents and aunts, and off her brothers who would not be interested since they did not share a personal relationship with Dot. As she goes through personal belongings and pictures, she discovers a commonality and a family secret, and with help from old friends, new friends, and her first love, she sets out to solve the mystery and right a wrong. Along the way, she learns more about herself and what she wants in her life. She comes up with a solution that seemingly enables her to have it all, but it felt too one-sided to be sustainable, in my opinion. Although I felt the ending was unrealistic, I still enjoyed the storyline.
