The Bungalow by Sarah Jio was a good read overall though fairly predictable. Unfortunately, I waited so long to blog about it that I've already forgotten most of the talking points. I do remember that the main character's desire for adventure before she settled down in life was very relateable, but her bff's attitude which the author blamed on postpartum depression, seemed unrealistic. I could see the postpartum accounting for her seclusion and overall moodiness, but why would she sabotage her friend's chance at love under the guise of "I was depressed"? It doesn't fit. Also, there was this annoying unresolved back-story: What the heck happened with Mary? Why did her fiance' dump her? What did his letter to her say? Why did she kill herself? The author didn't explain any of it! Other than that, it was fun reading this sweet love story and seeing it all tie together at the end.
