Four Weekends and a Funeral by Ellie Palmer

5.0

I recently finished Four Weekends and a Funeral, and I cannot stop thinking about the story and the characters, Allison and Adam. This debut novel by Ellie Palmer is outstanding! I appreciate Ellie's vulnerability and sharing her personal experience as a post-double-mastectomy BRCA 1 carrier through Allison's story. The whole premise was so unique and handled with so much care. I also didn't know this book was based in the Twin Cities and Duluth (both places I have lived). I love my home state, so I'm grateful to have another book take place here. This book will be one of my favorite books of 2024. I can already tell!

Please read this book if you like:
