Book Review -
The Dog Share by Fiona Gibson is a heartwarming tale of love, second chances, and the unbreakable bond between a woman and a dog. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a small island where everyone knows everyone, this novel brings together a couple in their forties, making it a refreshing older romance that will warm readers' hearts.
The story revolves around Suzy Medley, who is going through a tough time after being left with financial troubles and a ruined business due to her ex-partner. On one fateful day, a shabby terrier named Scout arrives at Suzy's doorstep, mirroring her own abandonment. Suzy's compassionate nature leads her to take Scout in, and that decision sets off a series of unexpected events that will forever change her life.
This book's unique concept of shared ownership of Scout, the lovable dog, makes this book genuinely endearing. The bond shared by Scout and the island's people exemplifies the theme of finding comfort and healing in unexpected places.
Suzy's journey is not just about her newfound furry friend but also about rediscovering herself and rebuilding her life. As she navigates the complexities of her personal struggles, the narrative is peppered with delightful encounters and heartwarming moments, creating a genuine and relatable story.
The writing style is engaging and light-hearted, making this book accessible and enjoyable. One of the standout features of the novel is the portrayal of an older romance, showcasing that love and new beginnings can happen at any stage of life. However, some readers might find the plot predictable and lacking in surprises, but it is romance fiction and not a thriller, lol.
Follow the female protagonist's journey as she endeavors to rediscover herself with the companionship of a lovable dog. I found this fast-paced book lovely. This book is the perfect choice if you're seeking a light and cute read, whether in a slump or simply interested in an older romance set in a small town.
