On Air with Zoe Washington by Janae Marks
4.0
I loved From the Desk of Zoe Washington, so I was thrilled with the release of the sequel. On Air does a wonderful job of picking up the story of Zoe and Marcus and moving it forward.
Zoe still has her irrepressible spirit, throwing herself into her job at the bakery (with Marcus), a podcast, her baking, and a new friendship. She is also navigating how ti fold Marcus into her family life with the always-spot-on help of her Grandmother. Janae adds a romance story arc with Zoe playing third wheel that is nicely done.
Readers will love hanging out with Zoe again. For me as an adult reader, this installment lacks some of the charm of the first one. Zoe learned her lessons in the first book, so she doesn't make the blunders that make the first book so charming. And, her grandmother plays a much smaller role in this book, and that relationship was so special in the first one. Nevertheless, the story is strong and the characters are a delight.
