Somewhere to review books I'm reading without giving away any spoilers!

Maggie In The Middle by Debbie Viggiano

Gosh, what a surprise this proved to be,
With grief, family dramas, dogs and romance to see.
There’s laughter and tears along the way
As well as fun and time to play.

Maggie is struggling
With elderly parents and grown up offspring
Stuck in the middle, she wonders just when
She’ll ever have time for herself again.

Dementia, drama, new friendships, too,
Maybe a pet will help see her through?
New possibilities, new risks and chances
Will this also be the time for new romances?

A romantic comedy and so much more
With family secrets and relationships to explore.
Coping with losses and grief as well
A fabulous read, I hope you can tell!

For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Synopsis:

Now she’s sixty-one, and everything has gone horribly wrong.

Husband Greg has abruptly upped and left leaving Maggie bewildered. But there’s no time to question his departure because her ancient parents are all-consuming.

Once fondly referred to as the Golden Oldies, they’re now the BOBs – Bad-Tempered Old Buggers.

Sister Freya is never available to help, and Maggie is rapidly reaching the end of her tether.

She wants her life – and husband – back.

Instead, she’s trapped in what has been coined the Sandwich Generation – supporting both children and parents – except this particular sarnie is in danger of falling apart.

Maggie needs to learn that when life is like a club sandwich, it needs the best ingredients – and that includes lashings of love and some knee-trembling romance!
