Pain in the Axe by Daphne Elliot
3.0

Generally entertaining, with some interesting angst and family dynamics.
That said, it really felt like it needed some additional editing. I don’t want to hear again the word lumberjack for at least another year (it was mentioned 38 times as both noun and adjective, I had to check)… besides that, other thoughts/conversations felt repetitive and I also found at least one contradicting detail in the story.
Besides that, if you enjoy good family connections and this trope (like I did), you will have a nice enough read.
