Paige, the third published book in the Newport Ladies Book
Club series, was my favorite book in the series so far. Through Paige, Annette
Lyon does a compelling job of showing readers how really difficult being a new
single mother is. She adroitly show us
how Paige must not only navigate a new job and a new place to live, but also
navigate through the guilt, anger, and hurt she feels because of her recent divorce.
I really enjoyed seeing the interactions of the women in the
book club through Paige’s eyes. Paige had a knack of seeing those women with
incisive honesty, but then she would quickly take a mental step back and
reevaluate her first impressions with compassion, a compassion she so desperately
needs. Despite some rough encounters, I love how Paige and Daisy build a strong
friendship through the course of this book. I look forward to reading the next
book in the series.
A side note . . . I've really enjoyed reading this blog and over the summer I have spent my time trying to read all the interesting books everyone keeps recommending so recently I haven't had new books to recommend. Keep posting!
