A review by phatveggie
Groundskeeping by Lee Cole

3.0

Groundskeeping is set in rural Kentucky with post-grads finding their way in the world and into each other’s lives. It is the exploration of coming to terms with upbringing and finding out where to take the next step. The characters of Owen and Alma are richly developed. The reader comes to love the characters and becomes invested in their choices.
The story is about a writer as he progresses down the academic path of writing. Sometimes I felt that the stories or vignettes were actual exercises from the author’s path. It has several mini-stories that follow a linear timeline. It works for the book, but I did get distracted by thinking these were class assignments and were tossed in to make the novel.
I want to thank NetGalley for the ARC.
