Jill Speedman - Librarian NetGalley 5 stars I loved this book! Having some severe health issues at the moment has left me to be a bit of a homebody not by choice but by circumstance so this was such a fun novel that allowed me to travel vicariously through our MC and experience adventure along the way! Highly recommend it.
