ashley_po 's review for:
Lucy Checks In
by Dee Ernst
I was fortunate to receive a free copy of this book thanks to NetGalley.
First, the not so good...I guess I just didn't expect Lucy to be 50 years old (based on the cover and synopsis) - while this wasn't bad per se, it just wasn't a book I would have necessarily picked. Also, the back story of Lucy's past. It was super important to the story, but just wasn't all that well explained. Finally, the renovation of the hotel was done fairly early in the book, so, again, just not what I expected based on the synopsis.
Next, the pretty good. I mean, the setting of a historical hotel in France was just an idyllic setting. The portrayal of middle aged adults as real people, not stereotypes as grandparents who are beyond the age of living their life was refreshing. The characters - I liked all the different people who lived at the hotel and wished I had known more about them.
