A review by ksiegner
The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by Kelly Harms

3.0

I really wanted to love this book. I enjoyed the talk about the program that Amy was creating for her students and I loved that she was finally taking time for herself in New York after 3 years of being estranged from her husband (ex-husband?). She has been a single mom for these years and managed to figure things out as a librarian at a local school.

I don't feel that I am connecting with the characters. I don't like the added journal entries from Cori, they didn't seem to be adding any extra information for me.

I have seen plenty of better reviews for this one, but I think that since I am not a mother or a wife I didn't see the connection with these characters. It seems like a very average novel to me, but I did like that it was a quick read.
