ALERT: Though not hinted in any way, I think Maxie (the main character in the series) was an alcoholic. In every book she visits a liquor store and drinks alone or with friends, so if you are sensitive to this or in recovery I wouldn't suggest reading the series.
This was a short book but it ended well for a series. This is Book 4 and the end of the Maxie and Stretch series. The author Sue Henry became ill and some speculate that she didn't write this book or at least helped someone write it as she was and still is in declining health. This so far has been her last book written, the title is ironic.
The story was very interesting, a bit improbable. I do feel like Sue Henry wrote this and not someone else, I saw Maxie the same in this as in the other books in mannerisms and character. The setting is near Christmas so I loved the festive feel and the snow starting and the descriptions of Homer and Anchorage Alaska. All in all this was an awesome series and I will miss Maxie and her little weenie dog, Stretch.
