Wednesday Walks & Wags: An Uplifting Womens Fiction Novel of Friendship and Rescue Dogs by Melissa Storm
3.0
This is the second book in the Sunday Night Potluck Club book and I actually liked this book more than the first one.
If you haven’t read the first book, you could read this as a stand alone but you’d want to know the story. These books are about a group of women who became best friends after meeting in the hospital. All of them had a parent with cancer. They decided to meet once a week and formed a dinner club.
This book is Bridget’s story. I understood Bridget more than Amy from the previous book. Bridget is a huge animal lover. By day she works at a vet’s office. She also volunteers time at an animal shelter. She loves animals so much that fulfilling her dream of being a vet might not actually be the best thing for her. She learns this after her boss shares her concerns after Bridget offers to pay for a patient’s very expensive medicine for her cat because she can’t bear the idea of the cat being put down.
I get Bridget. I used to want to be a vet too, until the day I realized that you can’t save them all. When this starts to sink in with Bridget, it scares her that she might not have the right plan with vet school.
She’s still struggling with her sadness about losing her mom too. She meets a mysterious new guy at her pet friendly apartment complex. They try to keep each other at a distance but she starts to really value their walks together.
My minor criticism of the first book was that they never talked about the food. But that’s not the case here. They actually referred to the foods they cooked, the new guy likes cooking, and a few extra recipes were included at the end of the book.
I love the support system these characters have. I love how they show up for each other.
I got to read an early ebook edition from NetGalley. Thanks!
