#BookReview: The Not So Perfect Plan To Save Friendship House by Lilly Bartlett

the not so perfect planAbout the Book

When Framlingham’s famously all-female senior living home goes co-ed, a war between the sexes is declared.

Stuck in the middle, chef Phoebe Stockton is desperate to help her friends plot to keep the community that means so much to them. It’s become her life raft, too. She finds comfort in her beloved career that might finally make her parents proud. But Phoebe’s darling Nick is lining up on the other side of the battle, and their relationship is suffering collateral damage.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. If the home’s owner can’t improve business by moving the men in, he’ll have to close down Friendship House.

The women aren’t about to let that happen.

My Review

This fun chick lit book is filled with quirky characters, plenty of laughs, and a lot of feel good moments. I loved the introduction to the book and our first peek into Phoebe’s life, and she was a very likeable and also relatable character to follow. Her love life is a bit of a disaster most of the way through the book, but fun to follow the twists and turns that get thrown at her. The Friendship House was a sweet setting, and the residents all brought a little something to the plot. I thought the pacing was great throughout though it did feel a little rushed at the end as everything was wrapping up, but still a very enjoyable chick lit read.
