A Little Bit of Grace by Phoebe Fox

3.0

This book was quintessential chick lit and not a genre I read often. However, I found A Little Bit of Grace to be an enjoyable read, albeit slow at times.

Grace is at a cross-point in her life and when she learns of a long lost relative, she takes a vacation from her everyday and flies south to Florida to try and connect with her great-aunt. For the most part Grace's thoughts and feelings were understandable and I loved that although there was the burgeoning of a romance, Grace is strong enough to know she needs to work through this transition in life on her own and doesn't rush into this relationship.

Millie (her aunt) has a secret that is the reason for her exile from the family years ago. I loved that we got to know Millie as a person before the secret was revealed. Fox does a great job at creating this character and getting you to love her for who she is.

This would make a great beach read (or in my case, a winter read under the covers).
