Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Park Row Publishing for gifting me a digital copy of the latest book by Phaedra Patrick - 4.5 stars rounded up!
Liz is married and the mother of two boys, about to have an empty nest. Her husband, Jake, works in the family printing business and there is never enough time or money. Liz works for three different employers as a cleaner, but her favorite job is working for Essie Starling, an author who wrote Liz's favorite book series. Liz has always dreamed of being a writer and was encouraged to do so by her professor father, but life intervened. When Essie dies, she leaves word that Liz is the one who should complete her last book with a short deadline.
This was just a lovely story that drew me in and kept me captivated - what's not to love about a book featuring writers, writing and books? Liz was so relatable - she always did what she needed to do, didn't complain about her life even when people treated her badly, and kept her dreams quiet. It was so fun to see her flourish and thrive, yet remain Liz to her core. I loved all the author and book references in this book too - made it even more relatable to see Liz reading some of my favorites. Don't miss this one!
