I would like to thank both Penguin Group Putnam and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

Book Review:

I gave this book 3 stars. This book was just ok for me. I did think it was better than her first book. I came really close to dnfing this book at the beginning because I was having a hard time following one of the girl’s and how she talked. I know she was from the south but oh my that was a rough section.

This book is about an older lady, Agatha, who is preparing to write a book about weddings. She is asked to teach at a college in Fayetteville for a semester. While she is there, she is able to interview some of the students in a dorm about her topic. During the interviews she discover she doesn’t really want to write about weddings.

One of the dorm RA’s, Millie, helps sets up these interviews with three of her charges.

Both of these ladies discover some things as they go forward with different areas of their lives and eventually end up together for a while.

This book goes into some of the students and how they ended up at this certain dorm and what they are going through. It goes into the background of both Millie and Agatha.

Like I said it was just ok for me. I had a really hard time even trying to review this book. I struggled picking it up, but once I did, I was able to read and enjoy it. I think part of the problem is that I think the book read too young for me and I couldn’t connect to the characters.
