Review: Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk

Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sweet. Charming. A nice light read. Being born in NY, there was a nostalgia and a connection I enjoyed throughout the book. I am glad to have read it and Lillian is a fun, quirky character I am glad to have "met". Overall, it was a little too light for my taste, as I tend to be drawn in by books with suspense, emotion, or, my favorites, ones with strong personal or social commentaries. This was a charming detour from my traditional reads but a bit lacking in the kind of substance that keeps me riveted or that ensures I'll remember the bulk of the story long after I've finished. However, Lillian will definitely forever be a part of my future repertoire.
