Erin Lee did it again! I loved this book from start to finish. This novella is based in the town of Escape, Colorado, the location for all of the novel in the Escape From Reality Series. Erin brings in her knowledge as a therapist into this novel by weaving in themes that only she can address in such a brilliant way. Greener followed the story of three different characters and how they all learned that the grass isn't greener on the other side. I loved each of these characters for different reasons. Dennis was well characterized and adorable. I found myself rooting for him the entire time! Nora was like a baby bird, learning to be courageous, and Caroline was hilarious. She was funny and so very real. The way these three character's lives intertwined was brilliant. I especially enjoyed how each of their stories ended. Erin Lee did an amazing job with this novella and I'm excited to read more from the Escape From Reality Series!

I haven't read the first two books in the series, but you didn't need to, which I think is great because a good series should be able to read that way. In Greener, we traverse the lives of three individuals, each struggling in their own way. Our main focus, Caroline, cannot seem to get past the notion that everyone in life has it better than she does. She goes through a process of personal evolution, to take the time to get to look beyond her preconceived notions of others and learn to see the good in her own life. Lee delivers another story with a punch, using her history as a therapist in her stories, to address real life issues that we all face at one time or another.
