2.6.2019 - More Than Words

More Than Words

Many thanks to NetGalley, GP Putnam's Sons, & Jill Santopolo for the opportunity to read her latest book.  I thought her previous book, The Light We Lost, was absolutely wonderful so I couldn't wait to read this one.

Nina Gregory was raised by her father after her mother's death and was taught her place in her family's dynasty - The Gregory Hotels.  She was raised with expectations for how she acted, what she would do for a living, and who she dated.  Her lifelong friend and son of her father's business partner, Tim, is steadfast and true when their friendship turns to love.  However, her father's death from cancer turns her world around.  Nina is no longer sure who she is, what she wants, and if her father was holding secrets that could have changed everything.

While I didn't find myself as invested in this story as I did in The Light We Lost, this is a beautifully-written story of family expectations and learning to be true to yourself at all costs.
