![]() ![]() This review was written voluntarily and my rating was in no way influenced by the fact that I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel from Grand Central Publishing (Hachette Book Group) via Edelweiss. A well written, thoughtful, believable, and brilliant read that has the power to stay in the reader’s memory. This ‘uplit’ novel speaks to the power of friendship, the love of sisters, and the courage to overcome those things in life that are holding you back. ![]() Besides orange cats, she loved to read, to bake, and to do jigsaw puzzles. ![]() Meredith shared many of my favourite hobbies. And Fred, well, you just HAVE to love an orange cat! Her journey out of her trauma was a trip that I felt privileged to have shared. Meredith had little self esteem due to her mother belittling her throughout her life.ĭespite her agoraphobia (she would call herself a ‘social recluse’), she was a level headed woman, a caring woman, a deeply damaged and traumatized woman. This debut novel reminded me quite strongly of “ Elinor Oliphant Is Completely Fine“, but that being said, Meredith Maggs had her own unique voice and is much more socially savvy than Elinor. She was a character that you couldn’t help but root for. I had a fantastic time sharing in Meredith’s apartment life. ![]()
