Mehso-so

We spend the summer in Michigan‘s UP so I was really looking forward to this story of two people searching for direction as they are are unexpectedly stuck in Manistique. At points it‘s a bit chaotic and I don‘t know that the author captured the place and the locals all that well but it was a decent enough way to spend a few hours.

I am always uncomfortable giving bad reviews. And while this is not a horrible book, I came away from it feeling nothing. I did consider bailing a couple of times. I found it too fluffy, rather cheesy and didn‘t connect at all with either the characters or the story. The two main characters (one, mid-30s; one, mid-20s) behaved more like 10, and most of the story was just too far-fetched to be believed. 2/5⭐️

Alfoster So agree! 5y
robinb @Alfoster Have you read this one? I always feel bad when my review might influence someone to forego reading a book. I did discover on GR that the average was 3.8 so maybe it just wasn‘t for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
Alfoster Yes, I felt the same! I liked it at the beginning but then it was just like meh....I love Litsy because I feel like we can be honest. I may love a book that others hate but no judgement felt! 5y

robinb @Alfoster thank you...that makes me feel better! And yes, I love that about this community as well. 💕 5y
Suzze I was kinda meh on it. Having spent my summers in Manistique for years, I didn‘t get much, if any, feel of place. The story was okay, but nothing special. 5y
robinb @Suzze 👍😊 5y

Currently 38% in and have almost bailed on this ARC a couple of times. But I‘m determined, and even though I‘ve almost given up on it, I still want to see where it goes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mamashep You have the same problem I do with giving up on books! 5y
robinb @Mamashep I really have a tough time doing it, especially if it‘s a free ARC. 5y

A very light, often humorous novel. We summered in Manistique when I was a kid, but the book didn‘t really give me much flavor of the area. 3 Stars out of 5.

Got this from NetGalley. Set in the town we summered in every year when I was a kid in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
