-


Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for What Now? by Shari Low. Thank you to the publisher and Rachel's Random Resources for allowing me to read and review this book! The book was published on 28January so its available now wherever you pick up your books!


Description

This is the sequel to What If? The story of the the book focuses on Carly, who twenty years ago found her perfect match in What If? Now the couple have two teenage sons and they are planning to get divorced. Then her husband offers to take the kids to the US for summer vacation, something he never had time for during their marriage. Now Carly finds herself with no responsibilities for a few weeks and her friends insist she go to LA for her own vacation. Carly thinks, What Now?


Review

First the book cover drew me in. I know you should not judge a book by its cover, but it helps if it looks pretty, right?

The book opens with a scene a lot of mothers can relate it. It's Mother's Day, and her sons actually remembered it was Mothers Day. The text she sent them the day before could have helped, but still they remembered! Her day quickly changes when her soon-to-be ex-husband calls and wants to take the kids on a vacation. As she agrees, she wonders what she will do while the kids are gone. Her friends solve the issue by sending her to LA to find herself again. What begins is a memorable journey.

In this story each chapter listed a song under the title. I loved this because it gave a little hint to the chapter. It was as if I was reading a book to music! 

I have not read What Now? so I probably missed out on a lot of the story. Some sequels can be read as stand alone books with no problem, but this is one you want to read the first book before diving into this book. Despite that I loved the writing style and storyline. The book is funny and a light read.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure.

When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle.
