A really enjoyable read and the storyline was just something a bit different. Great set of quirky characters.

Very predictable, I read this book very quickly. ...although it did little to hold my interest. Characters were not interesting people.. There seemed to be little or no plot. The first 2 chapters were O.K, however after that the book just stalls. Not familiar with this author. Young man inherited Victorian house , young lady appears after her car is hit by a deer???

Sweet first novel about the mysteries of adoption and invisible ties that bind. Mark travels from the suburbs of Chicago to Michigan's Upper Peninsula to inherit property from a long-lost relative, where he meets cute with Emily, a fledgling doctor in need of support. Loved the colorful characters, and as the Midwest is my milieu, I identified easily with the sights and smells, the cheese curds and the yoopers. I took off a star for Mark and Emily's not so witty banter, but appreciated the depth and twistiness of the plot.

A bit predictable in parts but fun to read. There is a B&B left by an elderly woman (Vivian) to a little known much younger relative, Mark. He travels up to Manistique, a small town on the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan. His path soon crosses with Emily who was traveling through and encountered a deer. She convinces Mark to let her stay at the B&B while she is waiting for a new windshield for her Saab. This where the zaniness begins. There are quite the cast of quirky characters and the novel picks up pace as the various stories unfold. It does end a bit predictably but not in the way you’d expect. I really enjoyed it a great deal!

Most of the visitors to this town in the UP are there temporarily... or so they think. Just closing up an estate and leaving, though driving over the scary bridge is required. Just waiting for a new windshield after a deer-car incident, but Saab's are not ordinary cars to find parts for in this area. Just on a tour of casinos, until leaving the tour hotel due to roommate issues.. or not. "Just plans" never seems to work out as planned.
Amusing and cute. Predictable, mostly, but entertaining. Enjoyable definitely.
Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest opinion.
