Sheila's Reads

A fictional story about correspondence of friends, one a bookseller, the other the author of Good Night, Moon takes us back the 1946 and brings us into the present time when it looks as if the book store will be sold. 

I enjoyed reading the letters between the two women.  I also liked how June's aunt Ruby set up a scavenger hunt for her to find the letters between Ruby and Brownie.  I got to know the two women through their letters.  June got to know her aunt better through them also.  I did not expect the ending of the letters.  I was surprised. 

I liked that June finally was able to let go of the past.  The ending for that part of her life was rushed.  She found the peace she needed and was able to find her future but it was an easy clichéd ending. 

The secondary characters were not always likable but they did add more drama to the story and June's life.  I applaud June for rising about her upbringing but it was a drama for her to live in her life.  She had to make big decisions there so she could move forward.   I am glad she made the decisions she did. 

This is a story of sisters, friends, trust, beginnings, and endings and how each affects our lives.  A good read.
