Mary K. Savarese
good fun read What a sweet surprise!
I downloaded this book mostly because of the title, it just sounded funny.
Little did I know that it was actually one of the best books that I have read in a very long time.
A very sweet story, somewhat sad and bittersweet, but truly a treat for the reader, A delightful read, fun, engaging, mysterious, with a healthy hint of spirituality, Anyone with a pulse will adore these characters! I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I was not financially compensated in any way and all opinions arepercent mine,
First of all, this is a cozy book without any gratuitous sex, violence, or anything offensive, There is some minimal profanities, but nothing that should offend the majority of people, In fact, a church is central to the story which is nice for a change,
Now, this book is unlike anything I have ever read, I thought it was a contemporary woman's interest story, Then it seemed to move to a smalltown story with some elements of comedy and romance, Before long, I felt like I was reading a mystery book, But in the end, I had no idea where to place this in terms of genre, This book has the distinction of being the most unusual book I have ever read, And guess what. I liked it!
For all its quirkiness, the story is a bit vague at times, I know the author did that purposefully, but there is a part of me that is still marveling at what I read.
Even trying to decipher what I read, I'm not complaining, but I would have enjoyed the book even more than I did had it not been as singular as it was.
Regardless, the author has written a fun, compelling tale that will inspire the reader to finish to the end no matter how that reader may ultimately rate his/her experience with the book.
It definitely gets a solid four from me! Really a,. A solid first novel effort, Tigers Love Bubble Baths amp Obsession Perfume by Mary K, Savarese is such a wonderful look at the miracles that can happen in life, Savarese takes us into a small Catholic church and gives us an indepth look at the rituals, sacraments and other daily events of the church while combining a story of a woman who lost a lot, but is able to find hope again.
I really enjoyed getting to know the senior residents that Angie held programs for and gave the Eucharist to, and I wish see what I did there that we would have learned even more about their past.
At times it felt like the story was trying to move towards a mystery, but Savarese had written the premise of the miracles so well that to me it was never a question of if there was a killer on the loose.
Even though a lot of people have passed away by the end of Tigers Love Bubble Baths amp Obsession Perfume it wasnt a sad book as much as one that encourages you to live your life to the fullest and realize death doesnt have to be something to be afraid of if you have faith.
This is a long overdue GR giveaways read,
I was a little startled by how much I loved this book, and I think I read it at the perfect time as I desperately needed something endearing and uplifting.
This was that, to a T, I have given it a very rarebecause of what it did for my mood,
The characters are so wonderfully written and seem to leap off the page, Spanks is my favorite! I think this author is adept at showing, not telling, She says exactly what she needs to say to set the scene and mood, and moves on, Perfect.
This is a cozy mystery about mysterious deaths at a Catholic nursing home, but it's really not just about that.
It does have a Hallmark feel as another reviewer noted, but I mean that in the best possible way,
I recommended it to my mother, and she has ordered a copy,
Very well done. Excellent writing. These characters will stay with me for a long time,
