Book Review - Bonita Faye

Bonita Faye by Margaret Moseley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was pleasantly surprised as I began this one. I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I really liked it. There isn't a ton of mystery to it, but a few questions that we get some answers to. I like how the story is told from her perspective. We see how she evolves and grows throughout the novel. She's optimistic and brutally honest. I really loved her friends and Harmon. Claude wasn't my favorite, I was routing from Harmon the entire time. There is some romance, war, crime, lots of trips to France and lots of small town country moments. It wasn't super fast paced but it didn't bore me at all. There were some parts that began to lag and I found myself skimming over some parts. I was able to put it down, it wasn't edge of your seat kind of book, but I was eager to pick it up again.
Bonita Faye is a strong woman who claws her way out of undesirable circumstances and changes her life for the better. The characters were all likeable unless they were meant to be hated. I liked how everything didn't go perfectly for her, and that was alright too. It made me chuckle but I wouldn't compare this to Janet Evanovich, I didn't find myself laughing out loud throughout. This was a light and easy read that kept me entertained.
