Talk of the Town by Jennifer Bardsley
4.0
"Boundaries. You deserve boundaries. The next time Kerry or Anika or Phil try to get into it with you, say: 'I'm not talking about this with you. Gotta go. Bye.' That's it. Boom. Conversation over."
This is a small town novel where Noelle and her son Daniel are navigating through life after her husband's death. Noelle grew up with a father who didn't value women for all that they are. She had a tough time navigating that after she met her husband and saw a different side to life and how women were actually viewed.
I thought the Facebook group posts within the book were a cool aspect, I don't think I have ever seen that in a book before. It was interesting to see the topics that were going on in the group and how they tied to the overall story line.
The story was kind of a slow burn, but it kept my attention up until the end. I was rooting for Noelle the entire time - wanting her to find her voice and realize that she is more than what her father thought she was. I was also rooting for Noelle and Peter and I was more than happy with the ending.
Noelle, I think, is relatable with both how she was brought up and the loss of her husband.
I would definitely recommend this book!
