The Sweet Spot by Amy Poeppel
4.0
emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The Sweet Spot is a quirky, laugh out loud story. It is set in NYC with a family’s brownstone at the heart of it. There’s a bar in the basement called The Sweet Spot, but it isn’t a book about a bar. It’s about women whose lives converge, and centres around family, found family, and friendship. Some of the characters may be unlikeable, however, they are flawed humans like us all and redeem themselves in the end.
