Summary: 5 Stars
Georgia Beers has hit a home run with this one. I've read all her books, and loved them, and noticed a steady growth of skill and confidence.
But with this one, it got me with the dog. You'll never meet a more adorable supporting character than Bentley.
I loved this book. I love that Beers' characters are just ordinary people doing ordinary things, like screwing up their lives, trying to untangle them, trying to be smart and do the right thing.
Rushing to work every day, getting caught up in a career and a failed relationship, Sarah is on track. She has a plan. She likes things neat and under control and organized, so she can rush into work everyday and rush home after staying late at her office.
Natalie had a career, before she gave it up to push coffee and pastries at an Italian bakery. Because her "career" job just wasn't fulfilling. She has a pink streak in her hair. Natalie never thought of it as revealing a lack of character or maturity, though some people might assume that. Sarah certainly does, and underestimating Natalie goes a long way toward making this an interesting book to read.
And then there's Bentley, the dog. I could write about how vital and well-drawn the minor characters are, but I'd rather just tell you that you'll love Bentley.
And I'll add that this book will make you laugh. It will make you sniffle. And it will cause you to to reflect a bit on your own life and whether you're focusing enough on the important things, because, like Natalie says, you don't want to be haunted by too many "what ifs" in your life.
You say you don't like romance novels, that they're all the same? Read this one, and you'll see that a well-written romance can be simply delightful.
Summary of Finding Home
"You're getting rigid and predictable."Sarah Buchanan would never have used those words to describe herself in a million years. Never. But it's been almost a year since her long-time girlfriend left her for a man and she's suddenly realized that those words now describe her with frightening accuracy, along with one more: boring. Deciding it's time to escape her disaster of a life, at least long enough to turn it around, she takes a temporary position with her company overseas. The hardest part is leaving her blue-eyed dog, Bentley, but at least he's in the capable hands of her family. She thinks.
Natalie Fox is the exact opposite of Sarah. She's flighty, spontaneous, and lives in The Now. It's the way her parents raised her and for better or worse, Natalie loves her carefree life. When she finds a stray, skinny, terrified dog with blue eyes outside the bakery and decides to adopt him as her own, things seem just about perfect to her.
Take two stubborn, polar opposites with an attraction for one another they're trying desperately to ignore; throw in a couple of wise Italians, a handful of quirky friends, some homemade cannoli, and a far-too-observant dog; stir vigorously, then sit back, relax, and enjoy...
