Book Review: The Girls of Mischief Bay

The Girls of Mischief Bay, the first in the series of Mischief Bay, is a funny, touching, romantic, relationship-changing book written by Susan Mallery. In this book there are three friends that are each facing a change in their lives.

Nicole is a supportive wife whose husband is a screenwriter. However, she has not seen any finished work from him so she has to work full-time, and since he does not seem to be inclined to run the house or look after their son, Nicole must do these too.

Pam is also a loving wife, but her children are grown so she is trying to keep the love alive in her marriage. She is faced with an uncertain future due to changes that are placed upon her.

Shannon is a business executive who has placed a larger emphasis on work than her personal life. Now she has met a man who she sees a future with but is it meant to be?

These three women share, support, and advise each other through these times.

Mallery is a bestselling author of Three Sisters and she has done an excellent job with this book.

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you.

Tana Thompson has a way with words that touch the heart of adults and children.
In Why Dogs Are, Thompson tells about the creation of dogs by God. More specifically why one special dog, a golden retriever, was sent to Brian by God. The dog shows Brian that God loves him so much that he sent a friend to be the seeing eyes and the hearing ears that Brian needs.
This is such a heartwarming story that is a great book to share with loved ones, no matter what the age. I read it to my 1 ½ year old granddaughter and she loved it as much as I did. Marita Gentry created wonderful illustrations to add to the book.
All the profits from this book go to charities which train and support therapy dogs.

I was very glad that I was given this book by bookfun.org in exchange for my honest review! Thank you.
