What
a kick for older female readers like me. And that this women's club
is based on the island of which I'm a native is a welcome plus.
This
novel has so much. There are women knit together by a common cause.
There is the culture of a small community on Whidbey Island. There
are quirky characters. There is a road trip with just about every
imaginable adventure. I loved it all.
This
novel is pure escape literature. The plot is unique. Women have
gathered together to celebrate their rejection letters. But when one
receives an acceptance letter, well, the group is determined to not
break their record. A road trip to the publisher, meeting handsome
and not so handsome men, getting stuck in a snow bound hunting cabin,
a ghost story, a literary seminar and banquet, a daughter having
twins, on and on. Just when I thought their couldn't possibly be one
more adventure, there was another!
I
recommend this novel to those who enjoy reading pure escape
literature for senior women. You'll read about women helping each
other, changed relationships, old and new romance, and much more.
You'll laugh and feel good. You might even learn the trick to keeping
those pesky raccoons away.
My
rating: 5/5 stars.
