Absolutely loved this book. Gives different perspectives on living life. Delightful characters delving into painful history. Makes you contemplate the what ifs.

The story is about healing and confronting ones deepest fear and sorrows and taking the next step, and there are people and places who brings joy and surprises to others not in a magical way but in the gratitude and experiences way that helps them make those next steps.
There are many places in this story that made me smile but there are two in particular that are my favorites.
The Low-Key Inn which is a rundown motel that has much heart and beauty in it and brings peace of mind to others because its owner Ollie decided that birds and flowers were more important than money.
My other favorite is the character Tri-pod a three legged dog who befriends a little girl and brings a smile to her face and others and is a support to his owner Kipper, who lost his son.
I found that the book is very emotional as the characters deal with their lives and confront their fears, but at the same time there is hope that makes you believe that everything will work out and makes the book more enjoyable to read.
I want to thank St. Martin's Press, St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for this wonderful book

Thank you for the advance copy of this book! Once I got started I couldn't put this book down! Mary is an interior designer on the brink of some major life decisions, and she winds up at a kitschy hotel with her granddaughter for the holidays. I loved all of the characters and the descriptions of the Low-Key Inn- I just wish I could stay there! Sandy Gringas truly brought this slice of 70s paradise to life.

I just reviewed Paradise Girls by Sandy Gingras. #NetGalley

Thank you St. Martin Press for this outstanding novel!

Sandy creates characters you care about. You keep picking up the book to see what they are doing, and HOW they are doing. They are real and flawed and relatable.
The author’s writing is rich and the story well-constructed. The female characters in particular felt fully formed and were very convincing, and whilst I was not particularly surprised by any of the plot turns, this did not detract in any way from my enjoyment of the story!
She doesn't just give insight into a character, she immerses you into the character.

5 Beautiful Star's!
