Copy of Maggie's Place provided by the author in exchange for a free and honest review.
The whole concept of following an apartment building with elderly people was very intriguing to me. I found this book somewhat depressing though. The parts about Salt Lake City, Utah with crime, schemes and homeless teens was very accurate, though native Utahns tend to turn a blind eye to it. . The characters and story line were believable, but the story just wasn’t for me.
Maggie as a character was a jem, and somewhat the saving grace for me as I read it. The way that Maggie looks at the world was very compelling to me as I read. Once Carly enters the picture, and things get turned up a level, I feel like her character truly shines.
Though this one isn't a new favorite for me, it was still fun and engaging. I read it over the course of about 24 hours, and just enjoyed it. If the plot sounds good, and you can handle a heavier story, than I would recommend checking this one out.
Thank you again to Annette Haws for sending this book my way.
