Its my stop on the tour today for this great concept.
Detangling the plot: The time has come for Jane to sell the family home. Downsizing to a flat means everything must go, but her late husband's favourite chair is far too precious for the tip. Meanwhile Robyn, balancing her precarious career as a portrait artist with raising an autistic son, is searching for a chair with panache that will allow her sitters to pose in comfort. Elsewhere in the city, Tracey is clearing out her wardrobe at the same moment that divorced and cash-strapped Debbie is frantically seeking a prom dress for her daughter. None of these women have ever met until Freecycle brings them together -- and their lives are about to be changed in ways they could never have imagined.
Bobs and Books honest review:
I've always found it fascinating how sentimental people are over objects, myself included. Jane really is attached to her husband's chair after his passing, and I think that type of thing is so relatable, particularly after a bereavement. A lot of different characters with different items enter this book quite quickly and I found that a little bit messy initially. However, once their stories interlink and overlap it came into its own and I liked how they met each other and how the story developed. This does have some difficult subject matters and they are handled well and sensitively. An unexpected treat of a read.
