Save What's Left by Elizabeth Castellano
4.0
funny medium-paced

OK so my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. Save What's Left will definitely be one that is either a love or hate for most readers. Happily for me...it's somewhere in-between. There is a lot I adored about this one (Kathleen and Rosemary are a hoot) and a few things I didn't like (Kathleen and Rosemary and their incessant whining and interfering). It's a double-edged sword with this one LOL

I don't live in a beach town and have never visited one. I do, however, live in a small town in Alaska so to a degree...I get it. It's different and there are certainly some interesting characters. What I don't get is the over involvement and cantankerous attitudes. Maybe those who live in a beach town will get that reference more than I did.

However, that being said I thoroughly enjoyed reading about their antics and their plotting. You know the whole better their drama than mine. Love that in books and boy was there some drama in this one LOL. Yes, at times, it was irritating but overall didn't make me love this any less.

I don't feel like this is warm-hearted read and the term un-beach read definitely fits. It's more like grabbing a tub of popcorn and watching the SHTF 😂 If that sounds like your type of read, then grab this one and have fun. I certainly did.

I sincerely appreciate Anchor Books for the review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.
