Delightful

Looking For Leroy by Melody Carlson is a most delightful contemporary novel that will warm your heart.

You never forget your first love no matter how many years have passed. There may be regrets in life, choices that have not worked out. What would you do if you could have a second chance at first love?

The reader sees the importance of retaining a spirit of adventure, no matter what your age. Life is for living and for exploring new places and having new adventures.

Sometimes we face crossroads in life and don’t know what to do – “Why don’t you try praying about it too.” Involving God in our lives is always a good idea. We need to pray and then listen for His voice.

We all have dreams. Sometimes life happens and interrupts our dreams. We can always revisit our dreams at a later date. There are those who squash our dreams and trample on us. If we are in a toxic relationship, we need to get out.

Family is important. Family does not always run smoothly but is fiercely loyal, protecting its members.

All the characters were well drawn, likable and realistic. I loved the kind hearts that showered love wherever they went.

Looking For Leroy was a charming read that left me smiling.

I received a free copy via Net Galley. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
