Review of: Feels Like Easy (Willow Glen Book 1)
This clean romance features Laura, a woman in her late 30’s who takes a vacation to her idyllic home town of Willow Glen, CA, escaping from her non-stop career as a producer in San Francisco. There, she meets up with her older sister, Maggie, a successful attorney, and both reflect on their childhood and consider making major changes in their lives. Laura has never been married, realizing she has never truly considered her own happiness a priority. Maggie has a college-age daughter and is in the process of finalizing her divorce, only to realize she is pregnant. The author focuses mainly on Laura’s romance in Book 1 of this series – her love interest in David, a musician and widower, although we see hints of a romance between Maggie and their family friend Rick. I enjoyed this book as the writing is excellent and the settings are described beautifully with much attention to detail. However, there are a lot of similar characters or similar storylines (several women finalizing divorces, several college-age daughters, several nice single men about the same age, etc). Also everyone in the book is single and has a dog (or 2), which I found pretty funny. I’d like to see Maggie redeem herself in the next book, as her choices at the end were extremely selfish which I felt went against her character as she was painted as having excellent values. This being said, I think this is a great start to the series and I’d definitely be interested to find out what happens in the next book! Fans of Suzanne Woods Fisher (like me) would definitely enjoy this book, which is a true compliment to the author. Enjoy!
