Another fast and easy read by Sarah Hualde in the Penny Nicols series. 

Thanks to TC and Scrubbs having her on the podcast, Penny's able to get some much needed tires for her tiny home on wheels. She finds herself at a small diner that's part of a motel and when she asks the server about finding a garage, well, the server's dad introduces himself and has her bring the VW over. I liked how he was honest with Penny and didn't try to fleece her, a single woman living in her van with a rather spicy kitty named Ace of Spades, Spades for short. 

Of course the raven has made his presence known while she's there and she goes out of her way to save her new friend's life, while waiting for those tires. 

A familiar theme that is testing my patience to stay with this series is the constant focus on the fact that Penny is plus size, and not just by Penny, but by everyone she comes in contact with. Give. It. A. Break. 

Also? The girl on the cover is most definitely not plus size.
