New City
The soft drizzle of the northwest, a love for writing, an intense college course load, and a comforting bakery create a new life for Sedona native Jane Shepherd. We learn from an unconventional relationship that, albeit difficult, it's okay to move on after tragedy and that dreams call to us for a reason. Jane and Landon teach each other that the people you surround yourself with become your family. New City is a story about sorrow, pain, and anguish but more importantly - healing, joy, and life.

This was a very introspective story about human relationships, what one is looking for in life and how, if ever, one overcomes the loss of a loved one. It is a character driven story with likeable if not very original characters, the magic wherein lies in the beautiful craftsmanship, the art of placing one word after another. Also commendable is the fact that the focus of this book is on a friendly relationship and not a romantic one, even if the romance does pop up near the end. And furthermore, that last relationship explored in this book, the one between partners, is proof of emotional growth for the protagonist and is thus not randomly attached but rather serves a purpose which is always nice.

This book was warm, relatable, and clever and I wasn't ready for it to end. Wish I could go to Ivy's Bakery right now! Will be watching for more from this author.
