Marriage, Melodies and Rewritten Conclusions

Seriously, I have been a fan of V. Joy Palmer’s work from the time I read her first book in this delightful trilogy, so I was delighted to review this one. I mean look at that gorgeous cover!

Don’t let the pretty covers fool you! These books are gold, so full of depth and meaning as well as pop culture references and humor.

I finished this delightful book last night and closed it with a happy sigh.

 

MY REVIEW

First, let me say that Palmer’s voice is one of the most delightful and refreshing voices to emerge in the publishing industry. Her characters are well-rounded, loveable (well except the villains), and quirky. Her wit and humor only highlight the flawed and broken people who we get to see the struggle and find victory in the end.

I think that this one might be my favorite of the trilogy. Marriage, Melodies, and Rewritten Conclusions had all the elements I love in a story. Second chances, or should I say, third chances, forgiveness are strong themes, but also friendship, family, and embracing your own uniqueness, whatever that may look like. (Like, enjoying lemon juice to deal with stress. Not me, Kaylee). Kaylee and Gabe have so much to overcome while trying to work together and attend various fun, themes weddings. I totally wish I had my wedding in a butterfly conservatory now.  This book is vivid, rich, and moving and I loved every second of it.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Kaylee McGrurd feels like life has left her behind. Her best friends have all moved out, married, or are in the process of matrimony. Meanwhile, she’s lost another job, and her daily diet consists of noodles that are better suited to packing material.

Then Kaylee’s ex, Gabe Sanders, enters the equation.

Gabe walked out on Kaylee without warning or explanation nine years earlier, but now he’s been brought back to the area for the unforeseeable future. And he’s in need of a new lead vocalist for his wedding band.

A dwindling account balance calls for desperate measures, and Kaylee reluctantly accepts Gabe’s offer. While the former couple works together in the midst of happy marriages and heartfelt melodies, secrets and the need for forgiveness highlight the strife between them…and the hope that maybe God’s rewriting the conclusion to their story.
