Review: 1985 - Careless Whisper - Love In the 80's - Misty Provencher
I
am slowly getting through the 1980's series , you know how you feel in
the mood to read something and then you keep flicking through as nothing
is grabbing your attention ? Then something sparks in your memory, of a
series you brought the whole collection of but never got around to
finishing . I was searching for something to read and then thought of
the Love in the 80's series and wham bam - I arrived in the year 1985.
Well technically, the book is set seven years later in 1992. This was
different to the previous books which are set during the year they were
written. In 1992 , Grace's grandma Gada has passed away and now Grace
has returned home to pack up her belongings and also as the will
stipulates she must spend a week in her childhood home. Grace arrives ,
she hasn't been back to her hometown since 1985 when she left for New
York. She left behind her life to start anew. She will get a surprise
though as Gada stipulated that for a week a number of people will stay
in the house and aren't allowed to leave. The people include James
Stryker - Grace's ex boyfriend, Lisa and Evie - Grace's old friends and
Paul - James's brother. Neither of the group have been in the same
place or spoken to one another in the past seven years as they are all
holding onto old grudges which they will be revealed to them , more
complicated than they could ever imagine and the handiwork of one Gada. I
have to admit though I enjoyed this story a little in parts, it felt
unfinished and that after the week none of the characters fully got
their issues resolved of what happened seven years ago and OMG why
didn't we get to see what each one was left in the will ?
