Men & Dogs -- Book Review


When Hannah Legare was eleven , her father went on a fishing trip in Charleston Harbor and never came back. And while most of the town accepted Buzz's disappearance , Hannah remained steadfastly convinced of his imminent return. More than twenty years later, Hannah's new life in San Francisco is unraveling. Her marriage is on the rocks; her business is bankrupt.After a disastrous attempt to win back her husband, she is shipped to her mother's home to " rest up" and she is once again sucked into the mystery of her missing father. ( Back of the book)

I have read her previous book of Girls in Trucks and it was okay for me.

I love her covers of her books, they visually mean something and have to do with the book topics.

There were 2 Point of Views of Palmer, and Hannah. Palmer is Hannah gay brother.

I loved the random thoughts in this book. I loved the chapter titles . Palmer and Hannah were both remembering times when they were younger and how it made them to be the people they are today. This book is about family relationships or lack of them.

Hannah is trying to come to terms with her dad's disappearance and with her marriage falling apart. When she comes home, her old boy friend is a minister and his wife works for Palmer..

This book takes place over 1 month and the changes that Hannah faces while at home.

Book review= 3

Thanks to Little Brown for the book and this is my Honest review.
