Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Jane Riley for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel. If you like a heart-warming story with a quirky lead character, this book is for you! 4 stars to Oliver Clock!
Oliver is approaching his 40th birthday. He runs the family funeral home, organizes his books and socks by color and even steam presses his underwear! He keeps a list of resolutions that he never quite reaches - especially the one about letting florist, Marie, know how he really feels about her. Then all of a sudden it is too late for him to do that. When he gets to read her private diary, he discovers that she felt the same way about him. His life is slowing falling down around him - the business is failing, he's gaining weight, his mom still runs his business and life, and he has no love in his life. When he decides to open himself up to possibilities, all the messiness ensues but it's a fun ride for the rest of us!
Jane Riley has created a book of interesting characters that will leave you charmed.
