Wayworn Lovers
Giselle is a famous composer whose housekeeper/assistant Frances has just left and she doesn't know when Frances is coming back. Enter Tierney, who is in every way Giselle's opposite, a wanderer with a restless spirit. They get thrown together, mostly of necessity for both of them. Giselle has severe anxiety and some agoraphobia, and so she needs someone to do things like walk her dog and get groceries. (Charley is super cute, but I wanted more of the cat as well.) Tierney is new in East Quay Rhode Island, just passing through, but needs to earn some money, and so they wind up opposites who are thrown together. They get closer together, each getting more involved in the others life. And there are some big things that happen too that throw them together in new and different sorts of ways. I really liked the slow build up that happened for most of the book, but, then at the very end I sorta thought that it felt a little rushed too. Overall I liked the twists and turns, and the secondary characters were awesomely drawn. A fun read from beginning to end for sure. I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books.
