Book Review - Hello Love by Karen McQuestion
This is a light romance, women's fiction story with the loss of a spouse and pet as a central theme. How does a person get over the loss of a loved one and move on?
We meet Dan and his teenaged daughter, Lindsay as they struggle to exist a year after the death of his wife/her mother. For Dan every day requires all of his strength to get out of bed. Lindsay seems to be coping better, until their beloved dog Anni is dognapped from the front of their house.
The story starts out with this passage, which I felt set the tone for much of the book.
"The little dog waited, ear rising expectantly with the passing of every car, her eyes never leaving the door."
Depressing - yes.
By serendipity, Andrea winds up with Anni and finds that she is just the cure for the emptiness in her life. A messy divorce has left Andrea bruised and unwilling to take a risk meeting someone new. Her friend Jade, pushes her to attend an event to help her find her focus and move beyond the hurt.
Despite fate's best efforts to put Dan and Andrea together, they miss each other throughout the story. At the end there is a point where we think Anni may have been hurt. Sissy that I am I had to skip forward to make sure of the outcome.
I enjoyed this book, not as much as the 2300+ almost 5 star reviews on Amazon, but would try another book by this author.
Happy Trails,
Leslie
