The following are the remainder of the books I read in February. In full disclosure, I did have two long airplane rides, too short ones, and all that time riding in a car all over New Zealand. A girl’s gotta have something to do…
When We Were Friends by Jane Green
A fairly recent divorcée (Lucy) meets a younger woman (Elle) with shared interests. Baby, come fast friends. After introducing L to her friends, Lucy notices that things are not quite what they seem. It’s a short story, and it was good.
When We Were Widows by Annette Chavez Macias
Yessica is very successful in her field, but after an outburst at work, she is placed on leave and ordered to take grief counseling. Meanwhile, her mom and grandmother need a place to stay while their home is being repaired following a plumbing accident. Can the three women coexist without killing each other? It was cute.
Grave Talk by Nick Spalding
A woman who has lost her husband visits the gravesite one day. She meets the brother of the person who is buried next to her husband. As they continue to meet yearly at the cemetery, we follow their friendship over the next 10 years. It was very good.
Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout
The fifth book in the Amgash Series brings together my current favorite, quirky characters – Lucy Barton, and Olive Kitteridge. We are entertained with the stories they share with one another, and learn more about the usual suspects. I think I may go back and read more of trouts books. Insight into the “lesser” characters in this series might be gained. Anyway, I loved this book.
Nobody’s Perfect by Sally Kilpatrick
Vivian hosts a YouTube channel called Mom Scouts as a way to celebrate the small wins in life. Upon learning that her husband has been cheating and lying to her for a while, she gets rip-roaring, drunk and posts a video that goes viral. Then she starts dealing with the fallout, aided by her neighbors. It was a fun read.
MK out.
