I feel so good about this grid. I wanted to read each book before I pulled into seasonal reads. And of course, Strout wins the tag!

pickThis book brings together my favorite Strout characters from ALL her books and features a beautiful friendship between Lucy and Olive. A can‘t miss if you enjoy hopeful books about friendship, love, and community.
A man has been accused of murdering his mother, and Bob Burgess takes the case. Meanwhile, other people in his circle‘s lives start falling apart. He tries to balance it all to help his family, client, wife, and community.
pickA reading realization I‘ve come upon over the last few months is that I really like quiet books and Elizabeth Strout soothes my soul. Olive Kitteridge, Bob Burgess, and Lucy Barton all together in the same book - yes, to that! Lucy and Bob‘s friendship was so interesting, and I was completely entertained by how Olive and Lucy came to meet and share stories. I loved this.
pickI still really liked this, but it‘s not my favourite ‘Lucy Barton‘ book. As well as Lucy, Bob Burgess is highly featured, as is Olive Kitteridge.
Early on, there were too many disparate threads and inconsequential stories about characters we‘d never met before. The book soon picked up though, as Bob becomes involved in a murder investigation - I wished this had been the whole focus of the book.
