I adored this wonderful, charming, heartwarming, and lovely book! I enjoy Shari Low’s writing, her characters, and the warm and support relationships they form with others. In my opinion, one of her strengths as an author, in addition to her beautiful writing, is creating characters that readers care about and want to spend time with them. The characters in One Long Weekend find themselves in heartbreaking and stressful situations which they handle them with realistic emotions, leaning on others for support, and trying their best to help others.
In [book:One Long Weekend|203098329, four individuals will find themselves in heartbreaking situations while also finding support through the kindness of strangers. Val lost her most valued possessions; Sophie took a chance and decided to travel in hopes of meeting up with the man who once proposed marriage to her; Alice suffered a life changing scandal thanks to her husband and sees an opportunity to start over; and Rory finds himself out of a job and a marriage on the same day. Each character is dealing/coping with major life events and experiences stress due to their situations. They find themselves connected through the pages of this book. I enjoyed each of the characters and rooted for all of them.
I felt for the characters, I rooted for them, I worried for them, and I cheered for them. I adored how the author showed the strength of friendship, family, and acts of kindness Although, the characters go through many things in this book, this book is hopeful and positive in its essence. I appreciated them for taking chances, being supportive, making sacrifices, and being present. Once I started this book, I did not want to put it down. If you have not read a book by Shari Low before, you are missing out!
Simply wonderful!
