Aimee Alexander

I truly enjoyed reading The Accidental Life of Greg Millar by Aimee Alexander. This author was able to add many life difficulties into one book without making it too hard to follow. This book is about second chances, blended families, deceit, mental illness and family turmoil. I admired the restraint and poise that Lucy held as many of us would probably question where we would stand if faced with these life altering decisions. The story line had great twists and I will even admit that I was completely caught off guard at the way the book ended. I didn't see that coming!

This book mainly takes place in Dublin, Ireland. I listened to an audiobook via Kindle Unlimited. I was very impressed that the audio mimicked the Irish accents of the characters which made them come alive even more. It was a nice change for me to follow a dialect that is not apart of my everyday life as I am a born and raised New Yorker. Even so, I only had to look up two words to understand it fully and smiled to myself that I was able to add a few new words to my vocabulary. We learn something new everyday.

I would recommend this book!… (altro)
