I had high hopes for If We Ever Get There by Laura Barrow, but I feel it missed the mark a bit. I love the idea of the plot, but Effie's character felt inconsistent to me and her encounters with ghosts weren't fleshed out. The Patsy Cline story line also felt superfluous to Effie's narrative arc. I'd love a full novel about Lola, though! That said, it's a lighthearted and a quirky read and I don't feel my time was wasted reading it. Maybe my expectations were just too high, so I"m rating it four stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in an exchange for an honest review.

This was a funny, lovely book. A little quirky in the best way possible. I loved at the end how the character found her way, and started founding her voice. Recommend!

Another great story from this new author loved her debut book and this was just as good! The author makes you feel for these characters and their relationships. Loved when the main character finally realized herself and what she was capable of!

If We Ever Get There by L. Barrow, the author of Call the Canaries Home, published by Lake Un ion Publishing now has her second book on sale.
Effie stands before the ruins of her 19 years of marriage. Innher fourties she has to start over.
Reluctant, skittish with not real clue what to do, her granmother Lolly has a message for her.
A message that's about to change her whole life. Put a stranger in the mix, a great story and you have the perfect second chance story.
Daniel is just perfect for Effie, her new love interest.

A story that's a bit different but I really did enjoy it very much.
I finished it one evening it was so good!
Lots of characters that I fell in love with.
The one who stood out to me most was Effie. Not sure why. Maybe it was her name and she reminded me of someone that I knew with that name. I don't know
This book also reminds me of the TV show Ghosts if you've ever watched that.
Cameron did make me laugh and smirk in places. For that reason alone I liked him a lot.
There were a few characters that I didn't like.
I loved this book a lot! I finished it in two days. I hate saying goodbye to my favorite characters.
5 stars for a well written and enjoyable novel. I highly recommend.
My thanks for a copy of this book I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

The cover of this book is gorgeous. .
