Book Reviews of Off Season
Book Review: Bad Ending
Summary: 3 Stars
Like other reviewers, I HATED the ending! It was well written and I enjoyed it until the last 70 pages or so, and then there were all those revelations. The story about his sister's death when he was a little boy, that awful Peaches popping up again (not once, but twice), and then the confusing ending with the storm. Yikes. Too much going on here. The husband's character took such a dramatic turn at the end. Too many surprises. They were married 40 years - wouldn't Lilly have had some clue that he wasn't as perfect as she thought he was? It didn't ring true for me - he seemed like such a nice guy, and then he's not. I kept waiting for Peaches to get what she deserved, too. I was hoping Lilly would somehow get even with her in the end. Definitely not an upbeat book. I prefer a happy ending. This left a bad taste in my mouth.
Summary of Off Season
For as long as she can remember, they were Cam and Lilly--happily married, totally in love with each other, parents of a beautiful family, and partners in life. Then, after decades of marriage, it ended as every great love story does...in loss. After Cam's death, Lilly takes a lone road trip to her and Cam's favorite spot on the remote coast of Maine, the place where they fell in love over and over again, where their ghosts still dance. There, she looks hard to her past--to a first love that ended in tragedy; to falling in love with Cam; to a marriage filled with exuberance, sheer life, and safety-- to try to figure out her future.
It is a journey begun with tender memories and culminating in a revelation that will make Lilly re-evaluate everything she thought was true about her husband and her marriage.
