I'm not in a reviewing mood, but I wanted to get something up here before I completely forget everything about this book. So off we go.

I went into this pretty much blind as this was one from my small friend book group. I was expecting an Under the Tuscan Sun-ish vibe, not that I've actually read that book, mind you. But I did see the movie...



Anynotthesamebutohwell, that's the vibe I was expecting. You get what I mean.

So color me surprised when the whole magical (?) paranormal (?) element came about. It wasn't bad and I didn't dislike it or anything, I just found it to be a bit jarring since it was so unexpected.

I found the main character's enmeshment with her mother to be fairly interesting. The idea that she was the love of her life. The way losing her affected her. I enjoyed how her seeing her mother as a PERSON and not just her mother evolved.

I also felt bad for the husband...cause, I mean...



I enjoyed the hotelier more as a character, but still.

And that said, I thought the ending was abrupt and I felt like there were some loose feeling ends...but otherwise a nice pool read for sure.
