A review by pattydsf
Enchanted August by Brenda Bowen
3.0
”The drive to Maine was longer than either of them had imagined. Lottie and Rose had decided on renting a Subaru in a burst of enthusiasm about New England, but now, as Rose pounded along the endless grayness of I-95 North, she felt driving up together had been a very bad idea.”
I will be honest, if reading wasn’t so difficult right now, I might have given up on this book. I didn’t realize it was based on Enchanted April when I checked it out. I should have known, but it just didn’t occur to me.
I say that finding the right books has been hard. That probably looks like a lie given that this is the 136th book I have read this year. Also I have found some really good books. However, there have been quite a few nights that I play games on my iPad rather than read. That is not like me.
Back to my book review. This was a perfectly good novel. Bowen created people that seem real to me and their problems, although different than mine, seem like actual issues for some people. The island in Maine seemed very nice. I just could take this book or leave it. It left few marks on me.
I am sure there are plenty of people who have loved this story and I hope that for them, Bowen writes some more.
