A Beginner's Guide to Starting Over by Gabi Coatsworth, Gabi Coatsworth

hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.0

This was a book about navigating life change after loss with the main charter buying and running a bookstore after the death of her husband.  There are empty nest themes and elements of making the decision to go on in love again after loss as well.  While I though the main character was someone I wanted to route for, generally I did not feel that the characters were well developed and there were too many pieces of the story line to do the main story well.  There was also a supernatural element that was fully out of place.
