Review
Sara is such a likable character. She is full of self doubt and overwhelmed at the thought of filling her Mother’s shoes as she is grieving This book takes you on her journey to get out of her own way and become the author she was meant to be. There are wonderful quotes from various authors at the start of each chapter. They support the struggles that Sara encounters in finding her own voice. Along the way she meets Nic, dealing with his own heartache. He is a poet, teaching at a small college, unable to leave his circle of comfort. There are mysterious circumstances surrounding provisions in Cassandra’s will which will lead Sara to question her parent’s marriage and Cassandra’s integrity. She travels to her Mother’s house in Maine and her childhood home in London in order to find her words. And finally she finds closure, redemption, confidence and love.

I really liked this read and easily recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy.

*Thank you very much to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me with an E-ARC of "The Audacity of Sara Greyson" in exchange for an honest review.*

I really liked this. Sara is completely relatable, both in terms of feeling stuck in her life, and the pressures everyone (especially herself) puts on her.

I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end!

Joani Elliott's sparkling contemporary fiction debut, THE AUDACITY OF SARA GRAYSON, is a deeply compelling and seriously funny novel that Is the perfect read for fans of Maria Semple (WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE), Abbi Waxman (THE BOOKISH LIFE OF NINA HILL), and Linda Holmes (EVVIE DRAKE STARTS OVER).

In THE AUDACITY OF SARA GRAYSON, an insecure greeting card writer embarks on a humorous and heartwarming journey of self-discovery as she struggles to write the long-awaited final book in her mother's mega-bestselling suspense series..

(Although I work with the author, this is an unsolicited and honest review..)

I'm sorry, I did want to read this book, but it appears that there is no option for reading on a Kindle paperwhite. Thank you anyway for the opportunity and best wishes for its success.
