A review by br3nda
The Sawmill Book Club by Carolyn Brown
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I was drawn to this book because of the cover and title and my love of book clubs but the actual book club part of this story is a very minor part, unfortunately.
The story line became very repetitious. It was like the author was having difficulty with finding other ideas to add to the plot. I found it hard to keep with reading. I did not need to be reminded about Libby's grandmother leaving her alone. And that her issues with trust were attached. The inherited box for Libby was mentioned way too much. I found myself thinking just open the darn thing! I got it that Ben came had money and did not need to be told so frequently.
It could be a quick and easy read about small town friendships and living but I became frustrated with the repetition and dnf'd the book. Maybe if I could have connected with at least one of the characters I could have continued the story but that didn't happen either. I am giving it 2 stars even though I chose to stop reading. I really wish I could have continued because I love so many of the author's other books.
Thank you for the opportunity!
