The Messy Lives of Book People written by Phaedra Patrick was a very entertaining and enjoyable book. It was a welcome book to read while relaxing on a warm day in the sun.
This plot deals with some great discussion questions in a light and entertaining story. When Olivia Green is faced with an unusual request from her employer it has the ability to change her life. Liv is a house cleaner by trade. She never finished school, married young and lives with her husband and two teenage sons. As they send off their last child to college Liv and her husband are struggling to make ends meet and what empty nest will look like for the two of them.
Their marriage is in a rocky place. Their jobs are taking up all their time and energy. Can their marriage survive and even thrive again? Then Liv is given an opportunity that ignites a dream she thought was long gone. She starts to get excited about life again, but will this new life include her husband? She is questioning her marriage and herself as she looks back through the life of famous author, the illusive, Essie Starling.
As Liv starts to accomplish the task set out for her by her favorite author, Essie Staling, she learns more about herself. Her strengths and talents that have been shut away come out of hiding. She finds her voice and her power. She also gets a chance to explore the world of the rich and famous. A chance to see whether money is really what makes a person happy.
Fun and poignant with a few twists and turns this is a wonderful novel.
