Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) -
I love Rebekah Millet's novels! I wasn't sure I could enjoy one more than Julia Monroe Begins Again, but then she wrote Kate Landry Has a Plan. Happy sigh.
Forty-year-old Kate's plan for life and business is near and dear to her heart. She's done her best to follow it despite a tragedy that completely reshaped her life 10+ years ago. When two men from her past - her scheming ex-fiance and a childhood friend - reappear, her orderly life is thrown into chaos. Can Kate navigate these complications to practice forgiveness and find peace?
Set in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, this opposites attract romance has great humor, heart, and an undercurrent of faith. I loved Kate and Micah - they felt so real, doing their best to deal with the personal and professional challenges many of us face in our 40s. Julia, the heroine of Ms. Millet's debut novel, plays an important role in this story, and it was fun to reconnect with her. The only aspect I didn't love was that Kate's mother and father felt like copies of Lorelai's parents from Gilmore Girls.
I'm so curious about the author's next novel since it feels like the Beignets for Two series is complete. Whatever its plot, I'll be reading it!
Thank you to Bethany House Publishers for the review copy of this book; all opinions are my own.
