Family Reunion

by

Nancy Thayer

First , I love  Nancy Thayer’s books and have read many.  This one I enjoyed immensely.

Second, I have never and will never understand selfish, narcissist people who are never satisfied with what they have and always want more…..they must live very miserable lives…….and yes this book has one. ( I’m still trying to figure out why these adult kids think that their mother owes  them any of the money from the sale of her property.)    This book also has a beautiful relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter that I wish I could go back in time and have with my grandmother.   This is a sweet family story, minus the selfish kids,  and a man having an affair on the same island as his daughter and mother-in-law live ,  is that stupidity or wanting to get caught but   you will not want to put this book down.

This is a must read.  Thank you #Netgalley #ARC .   Due to be released May 4, 2021.

Let's Read A Good Book...... (NOT) Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr

 

 

Sunrise on Half Moon Bay

by

Robyn Carr

 

I have loved reading Robyn Carr for years but this book not so much. I do not enjoy reading about people being used and taken advantage of and by page three this book was clearly about big, smart rich sister using younger, vulnerable sister. I was turned off immediately. Then the book goes in a totally different direction as though the first chapter and the rest of the book was written by different people and who ever wrote it clearly did not read that first chapter. I found the only characters I liked was the private detective, the grocer and Ross, all minor characters, the main characters were just not appealing and not well developed. I hope this isn't a series because none of these people felt like friends and I really don't want to meet up with them again.
