Review: Saving Missy by Beth Morrey


This was so heart-warming! This was a wonderful book, full of real characters and real situations that so many people will be able to relate to.

Missy is 79 and spends her time alone, since she is estranged from her daughter and her son lives abroad. One day, on her normal walk round the park, she meets two very different women who draw her into their lives, and in the process, manage to change hers forever...

I really enjoyed the inter-chapters which flicked back in time to Missy meeting her husband. It was nice seeing the relationship between them, since we don't see it in the present-day. I was also surprised by the twist involving her husband - I don't know if it was supposed to be a twist or not, but I certainly did not see it coming.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Missy and Bobby - it was so pure and heartwarming, and so important for Missy to experience something like that later in life.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book - it was delightful and I would highly recommend.
