Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to preview Three Keys by Laura Pritchett. I really enjoyed this book for the life lessons it taught. Ammalie is a very likable main character and you find yourself cheering her on in her plight not only to find herself, but to explain some of her past. A few of her many challenges are to forge a better relationship with her sick sister, solidify her friendship with her very best friend and reestablish her relationship with her son. Ammalie sets off on an adventure of a lifetime. At times I found this book was a little sluggish, but not enough to stop reading. The last third of the book it really all comes together leading up to a wonderful ending! Definitely read Three Keys!
This. Was. Amazing!!! What an incredible adventure Ammalie embarks on after losing her job. The writing is so good here - you feel yourself sleeping in her car, eating meals on the run, trying to help others when they need it and learning to trust strangers. Such a brave woman! Makes me want to jump out of my comfort zone and do something crazy!
So an interesting fictional story about a new widow, who also has lost her job & her son is at college also dealing with his father's abrupt & unexpected death. Ammalie goes off to find herself and deal with all of these happenings. What Ammalie does not share with her family or friends, is that she will be breaking into various places her husband had stayed at & living in each. It is a strange story, with some heartwarming occurrence's, some not. It ties up with a "happy ever after" ending. Thanks to NetGalley, Random House & Ms Pritchett for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Three Keys is a sometimes sad, sometimes joyful and always heartwarming story about a middle aged woman looking to discover her best life. Ammalie has experienced loss and feels unnoticed. She goes on a long journey, staying in obscure places by breaking in, surviving hardships, and trying to pay it forward with those who may need her help. All the while, Ammalie is trying to feel that she can progress and feel better about herself as a woman and as a human being. With thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine for the opportunity to read this ARC. My opinions are my own. @LauraPritchettauthor
I received a free copy of this book through Netgalley. I didn't like the beginning of the book because she basically feels like she's having a breakdown, but once you find out her husband died, she lost her job, and her only son is distancing himself, then it's more understandable. She seems to be a woman on the brink who can go in several different directions. This book stands out quite a bit from anything else I've ever read. It has some good messages and thoughts on grief and anger mixed together. How to feel useful and relevant as a middle-aged woman.
Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Ammalie's life has changed and she feels lost. She decides to go on a journey. This book was very insightful
Not often does a book come along that you can resonate with in such a way that you feel so connected to a character or a story and this book does just that. Ammalie is the perfect character in that she isn't perfect at all. She has secrets, flaws, questionable ideas and a heart of gold. She is quirky and caring and a bit off her rocker at times but that is what makes her so relatable to me. We are all out here trying to make good choices and do the right thing and sometimes we just need to get out of our own way and go do it. I loved going on Ammalie's adventure of self discovery and enjoyed meeting all the people along the way.
I thought this book was heartfelt and adventurous with a whole lot of soul searching. Reading this was a truly enjoyable experience and I am excited to read more by this author.
