I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My first book for 2022. Here I go with my Eleanor Oliphant references again but if you loved Eleanor you will love Annie Stanley too.
It has been a while since I've written a review. Last year I struggled to find any good books. To the surprise of one of my workmates I only read (finished) eight books in 2021. So much for completing my Goodreads 25 books challenge for that year. I did start many more but just couldn't get into them. In December I found this book while shelving some books in the library I work in and
thought I'd give it a try. I loved it!
Annie Stanley's father dies and she decides to take off on a trip with his ashes around shipping areas in Britain. Why? Her father loved listening to the shipping forecast. She meets different people along the way - some from her past, some from her present and some strangers. It explores relationships whether it be friendships, family or those of the romantic kind.
There are some great lines in the book including one from Annie - "Sometimes unfinished business has to stay... unfinished. You can't write "The End" on every chapter of your life''.
A light and oftentimes funny read. I loved Annie and I reckon you will too.
