Since I have a terrible habit of waiting until the last minute to read my challenge books, I didn’t get to read November’s challenge book due to my mom’s unexpected death. But since I am committed to completing each challenge, I read it in December. I am really, really happy I did since Where the Blue Sky Begins is a fantastic novel. Eunice Parker completely stole the storyline as she persuades, um blackmails, her new neighbor Eric Larson into being her driver as she gets her affairs in order for her impending death. This heartwarming story has a delightful cast of characters and a storyline that will resonate with readers. I highly recommend it!

I read Rebound by LA Witt – the title is what is about and whilst there was nothinh new, I enjoyed this.
Both main characters are still rebounding from recent relationships and both suffered abuse, though in two different forms. It was interesting to see how they started to work through past trauma and avoiding falling into the same trap
Great explanation for what you liked about the book. I’m adding it to my TBR!
