Mini Book Review: 4.5 -  My first exposure was recently when I got to see Victoria speak at a local book fest and I saw all the beautiful covers features some happy dogs. Her book <i>Dog Friendly</i> was chosen as June's Romance book pick which was the perfect time for me to read my first one by her!

Content Warnings from my memory:

Mental Health, Suicide (off page), Bullying (off page)

Quick Recap: Burned out veterinarian Morgan Pearce takes some time off to be incognito as a dog sitter for a client in Nantucket. While there she forms relationships with the local townspeople including soda pop entrepreneur Nathan. 

I loved it!!! There was such a blend of romance, mental health and learning all about dogs! I did not find the "veterinarian" talk to be too much but enough to give context and actually I never considered some of the conflicts that were discussed in the book. You can definitely tell that Victoria used her own experience with dogs. 

One note that I had is when the conflict came in the 4th quarter, it felt really believable and thinking back the seed had kind of been planted earlier in the book.

I paired this with the audio courtesy of PRH Audio and I thought the narrator Patti Murin was fantastic! 

This book would be perfect for the spring/summer season & can't wait to check out her other books especially while lounging by the water. And made me want to visit Nantucket and experience that small town life. 

I am looking forward to the book club meeting & the discussion with Victoria herself!
