My Review:
This book was so funny I was literally laughing out loud at moments. But don't be fooled dear reader as this story also deals with some heavy subject matter. We deal with layoffs, an empty nest, taking care of elder parents and dating for the 50+. 

Fiona Gibson really gets you inside her characters heads and I loved how real and true to life they are. This was such a wonderful palate cleanser between thrillers and I enjoyed how heartwarming it was without being saccharine. And that ending was the perfect surprise! Fiona Gibson, you have a new fan!

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining.
