Holly is an anxious mother just trying to fit in with that being said i found myself wanting her to succeed! This was a very light but fun read for me and i found comparable things between myself and Holly-i mean everyone tried the bullet journal thing right?
A highly enjoyable book with an intriguing plot and i found myself invested in all the characters!

I loved this one, so much fun to be back in the Village of Primm to see what Holly Banks is up to now. I really enjoyed that this took up right where the first book left off and still has fun, over the top characters. Stuck at home during this pandemic, I needed this little escape and the laughter it provided!

While I didn't fall in love with the first book in this series, I certainly have with this one. Classic example of how sequel can be way better!
"The Peculiar Fate of Holy Banks" is a really fun comedy dealing with the issues of motherhood and people-pleasing in a small town setting. We follow our familiar Holly Banks as she tries her best to be a good mother, wife, friend and neighbor while looking over her own needs in the picture-perfect Village of Primm. She is a super relatable character, especially with her insane quirkiness and flaws, which is something we simply need to read about in the era of instagram 'perfection.'
This book is a perfect light, laugh-out-loud read for anyone craving to just relate to someone who "sucks" when everyone else seems to have a perfect life. Holly is just incredibly lovable, and I can't help but wish we could be friends in real life.
*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it!! I really liked the first book and the second was just as good if not better. Definitely one to read for the summer.

A fun read, this second book about Holly and the Village of Prim begins just where we left off. Though not 100% necessary, I would recommend reading the first installment first to get the most out of this story. Of the two, I preferred this story. Holly is settling in and we see her develop through her relationship with Jack, her mom and the other residents of Primm. A nice read.
