The Move Whitney Dineen 316 pages
Lexi's life changes in major ways, just like a psychic predicted when she was a kid. Suddenly, Lexi finds herself suddenly in small-town Missouri visiting her friend, and feeling much more at home than she anticipated. The biggest draw of Creek Water? A beautiful Victorian mansion that screams Bed & Breakfast. Another draw? Hot Realtor Beau. Lexi can't help but wonder if she's actually cut out for small-town life, rather than the big city NYC style she always assumed.
The Move, Dineen's second in the Creek Water series, was an excellent follow-up. I think because I was familiar with the world and characters already, this book felt much more solid and I was drawn in more easily than the first. It's nice to have that familiarity with a group of characters - especially to fully appreciate their large family dynamic.
These books are light and cute, very Hallmark movie-esque, but they still talk about some deeper topics - in The Event, we got a look at the judgments a single mother could face in a small town. The Move incorporates a bit of racial bias and even the politics of gender and marriage.
Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review!
