A Small Town Contemporary Clean Romance with Bookish and Literary Themes
TRIXI'S REVIEW:
Family is where you find it.
Riva has many memories in the old Victorian house her family has had for years. With the passing of her husband over a year ago, she finds herself at a crossroad. Due to finances, she can’t keep the house, yet at the same time she can’t bring herself to sell it…so when an opportunity to rent out the rooms to female boarders, she embarks on a new and somewhat scary adventure.
We’ll be like the Golden Girls of the new Millennium.
I love how the author weaves these five women together even though they all have different backgrounds and life experiences. It’s hard at first, but they all have one thing in common—grief—which bonds them in the end. Of course, you can expect a few bumps along the way as they navigate living under the same roof. A few incidences were portrayed in a juvenile manner, so it took a bit of the enjoyment out the story for me. There were many emotions felt by me as I learned of the past hurts or difficulties of the characters and that helped connect me to them in a tangible way. In the end, it was a truly enjoyable read about a group of people navigating life together and overcoming grief. My favorite part was when Riva reminded them that God’s love is unconditional and never gives up. He’s relentless in pursuing us in spite of all our human flaws. I love those reminders myself!
