- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have not enjoyed a book as much as I did this one in a long time, and, if you have ever checked my reviews, you can see I have read and do read a lot of books. The story centers on a Charleston Lawyer, Sally Baynard, ex-wife of Family Court Judge Joe Baynard, who hails from a well-heeled, well-known Charleston family. Though divorced, both continue their respective careers in Charleston, maintaining a professional, though not close, relationship. Judge Joe assigns Sally to be lawyer for a miniature schnauzer, Sherman, whose custody remains the big bone of contention in a lengthy, contested divorce between two older Charleston citizens. In addition to this, Sally is grappling with an aging, Alzheimer's-ridden mother, a potential relationship with Sherman’s vet, her mother’s caretaker who is planning to move on to care for her cancerous significant other, and a plethora of friends and associates who think she and Joe should reconcile or that Sally should move on to another man. Some also think Joe, who has recently separated from his squeeze, is out to get Sally back in his life, using every trick he has to do this. The story is fun filled, but serious at the same time. The author addresses a myriad of issues that are current today: how two exes who work in the same profession manage to continue a professional relationship/association after their split, how a child handles and deals with an aging parent, how someone who has not had a dog since she was a child learns to care for one, how a single professional woman forages her life as time passes, etc. The author does a magnificent job in all this. I enjoyed Sherman, but I am an avowed dog person myself, so that part was easy for me. The author handed all the issues surrounding him and his situation very well. The author’s writing style is smooth and makes for pleasant reading. The story flows smoothly and easily. The characters, including Sherman, as well done and memorable. This is a book I will keep and re-read again when I have time and when I am looking for something fun to read. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story. There is some romance but not too much. The plot is interesting and intricate enough so that the ending is somewhat of a surprise (at east it was for me). If I could give it more than five stars, I would. I hope there will be more books in the series, and I eagerly look forward to reading them. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thoroughly enjoyable! The author seems to care about the characters and has given them a realistic depth; I particularly liked the very natural way the main character falls in love with the dog. I'm not particularly fond of lawyers but I did enjoy the way the main character talks to herself: it's as if she's writing a brief.
