I loved this debut novel set in Wisconsin. Sally Collins brought me back to my late teens working in my northern WI small town and feeling like Emily. Wondering when my life would begin and if leaving my small town was even an option.
Emily is a main character who will stay with me for some time. She struggles with high school friends leaving and her relationships with them changing. She struggles with wanting to live her dream of being a nurse but having to leave her father and his bar The Honky Tonk behind. When trauma pushes her to her limit, she gets in her truck and heads to Door County after hearing about it from a young man who stopped in the bar. Emily finds work quickly and begins a summer of new friends and a life she never expected.
Muddled Cherries is a novel about life, family, friends and making choices for oneself. Loved it and highly recommend.
