MY REVIEW
This author really proves how great a storyteller she is in this well written contemporary fiction.
Their is nothing tragic or life shattering, but it is life. Life lessons are throughout the book in small and big ways through every day characters like you and me. There is something about the characters and the storyline that has stayed with me. That makes a book special for me as I have a terrible short term memory.
The characters feel like family, and they are incredibly well done. It’s so easy to love the simple, kind, and big hearted garbage man that sees value in the people in his life. I love kids in books so when his nephew shows up, I love the interaction between the two. All the main characters have flaws, but I liked them all. After all, flawed people are normal people.
The storyline seems simplistic, but lessons of life are throughout the book. There is a theme of forgiveness, redemption, and love that is so sweet. I’m not a huge fan of contemporary fiction, but I have enjoyed this author’s reads very much.
With a lovely setting, wonderful realistic characters, and a beautifully touching storyline This author has created a lovely novel that you don’t want to miss.
I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
