Libby Lost and Found: A Novel
by Stephanie Booth
Libby Lost & Found (8/27/2024)
This was overall a good read - did it in one sitting. The premise is great - another trying to finish the last book in her series discovers she has Alzheimer's which is interfering with her ability to complete the ending. Thus, the need to find a ghost writer. The ultimate choice is a surprise and it puts Libby on a plane to meet the writer and, in a surprise twist, an adoptive family and love. Some of the writing was a bit disjointed and it felt like there was some missing content, but, then again, it could have been the author's premise of Alzheimer's. It may have been a technique to make the reader feel the effects of the disease. The book was funny at the same time sad. The author has a great and quirky imagination. The characters were well formed, if a bit out there. Again, a really, really great premise with a well developed plot. All and all, a good solid read!
