Started great but fizzled out
Vivienne Lorret has written several books that I have read and reread. She can write witty characters with depth and engaging stories.
Then she wrote this book. And it was meh…
You can surmise from the blurb that this will be a surprise pregnancy trope. And I was so ready for that since it is one of my favorite tropes of all time. But the way this was executed took away everything I love about the trope.
The author did a fairly decent job with the mystery, and I didn’t put it together until 3/4ths of the way through, when the hints and foreshadowing got more blatant. Maybe I would have caught it sooner, but I was way too focused on the surprise pregnancy storyline. Who knows.
I really was SO DONE with the book before the book was done. If I had been done with the quilt I was binding, I would have stopped the book and listened to something else. But I was on a binding roll and didn’t want to take a pause.
Here is a picture of some of the quilts I finished while listening to the book.
