graceangelmama 's review for:
A Season for Second Chances
by Jenny Bayliss
First, I thought this book was a holiday romance. IT IS NOT. If I had not had that expectation, I may have enjoyed this more than I did. It is most definitely Women’s Fiction, and the last 30 chapters had a romance, but that is not the main plot, at least to me.
⭐️I listened to the audiobook, and the narration was excellent.
⭐️⭐️The sense of place Bayliss establishes with her writing is strong and beautiful. She gives us delightful side characters in the town, and you do feel enveloped into their community.
Now, here’s where I had trouble. I shelved this on Goodreads 3x as DNF. It happened every time I encountered the cheating jerk of an ex-husband. He was harassing and stalking her, in my opinion, and it took her until CHAPTER 77 to tell him off and FINALLY threaten legal action. That was 76 chapters too many for me. He needed to be dispensed with almost immediately. He did nothing, to me, in advancing the plot of her growth. He was an unnecessary irritant and if I could have returned this for my Audible credit, I would have. (I’d returned one too many books by that point in the year.)
The main reason I kept picking it back up was I wanted to finish what I started, and I really did like the community this was set in. But THE EX KEPT COMING BACK
