A review by xakyr
The Sunday Potluck Club by Melissa Storm
4.0
FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER THROUGH ONE OF A VARIETY OF SOURCES. I VOLUNTARILY OFFER MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE BOOK, THOUGH IT IS NOT EXPECTED OF ME! RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!
This was more of a 3.5 star read for me. I'm not sure I've ever read anything by this author, but I could see enough in it that I'd like to check out their other work sometime.
I had a hard time with investing in these characters. The first part of the book had such a depressing tone, due to the grief, that I struggled to even want to read the book in the first place! When things finally did progress, it felt flat and slightly manipulated.
The setting is one I have interest in, but there wasn't enough detail given for this reader! I would have liked more about the way of life and hardships of living in Alaska, but those details were sadly lacking in this story.
I can see the potential for a series here with this book, but I don't think I would continue on with it.
