Family Baggage by Monica McInerney
4.0
First full-length book on my new Nook!
Family Baggage was different from the typical reasons I like McInerney's novels. It has the Australia/England dual setting and the light romance, but it also has a viewpoint I have never read before: tour guide. This past summer, my family and I went on a combo land/sea tour of Alaska, and while Harriet, McInerney's protagonist, is extremely different from the guide we had, I still enjoyed seeing the trip from that vantage point. While the book was slightly predictable and the end cleaned up a bit too neatly, I still enjoyed it. It isn't of the same caliber as Lauren Willig, but it is definitely still superb quality chick lit.
