To All the Dogs I've Loved Before
by Lizzie Shane
I enjoyed reading this book. It is full of the small-town charm I’ve come to love with highly likeable characters. Dory’s adventures provided both some comedy and drama to the story: you can’t help but fall for this lovable canine.
Second-chance romance is one of my favourite tropes. Three years after Levi suddenly broke off their engagement without any explanation has left Elinor still confused and angry about the sudden break-up. They’d been a couple on and off since high school and had finally been a place where they could marry.
The reason for the break up was slowly revealed, as was the history of their relationship. Levi has a complex history surrounding the way he was parented and educated including a late-to-diagnose learning challenge. After a tragedy on the job, Levi’s focus is keeping the town safe despite everything he must sacrifice to do so.
Elinor has always been seen by the town for her exceptional intellect. As the school’s librarian, she’s trying to connect with as many students as she can. As a budding author, she knows it’s time to try and write the book she’s always wanted to publish.
The star of the book for me was Dory - a good example of a dog bred to be working dog who doesn’t appreciate being alone at home while Elinor is away. The way the town embraces Dory is loving and heart-warming. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in this series.
