4.5 stars
Please read Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1) before this book as it will help in understanding some of the same characters and the flow of this book. It definitely can be read as a book, but I think that it would be much more enjoyable to read them together.
I did read Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1) some time ago, but the main character, Olive Kitteridge, was like an old friend. Her character made me laugh out loud many times - she is a HOOT!! She was so deep and so real that I would want to have a glass of wine with her while admiring the Maine coast which is breathtakingly beautiful!!
Also, the character development is just so well done. I feel like I could go to Crosby, Maine, where the book is set and recognize the many characters as they walked by me in the street The characters are just like anyone that you would recognize in your neighborhood or town. These are the regular people with real stories that are so very interesting!
Finally, the author, Elizabeth Strout, has a gorgeous and lovely way with words. Her writing is so rich and luscious. I just love reading her books and I have read several!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! But read, Olive Kitteridge (Olive Kitteridge, #1) to get the full character development!!
