Lily Barlow
Lily Barlow: The Mystery of Jane Dough | Carla Vergot
2 posts | 3 read
Lily Barlow, a quirky college student obsessed with the fictional bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, is called home from the University of Virginia to get the family bakery running after her dad's heart attack. Stuck in a sinkhole of self-pity, she finds her sleepy hometown...well...can a town actually be in a coma? No worries. All she needs to do is hire a bakery manager, and she's not even moving back in with her family for that part. Instead, she rents an efficiency garage from Miss Delphine Walker, an old woman who Lily begins to believe may have killed someone at some point in time. Meanwhile, Lily's overactive imagination takes a swan dive when she discovers an online clearinghouse for victims the cops can't identify. Consumed with the profiles on the website, Miss Delphine, and the candidates for the bakery manager position, she simply cannot cope with one more problem. So when Jack Turner, her best friend since kindergarten, reveals out of nowhere that he wants something more than friendship, what's a woman to do?

I didn't think I'd have to worry about the romance plot (not my favorite genre), since it isn't mentioned until the end of the summary. BUT it has so many increasingly awkward (Lily literally runs away and puts space/objects/doors between them) scenes of her BEST FRIEND hitting on her. A little slow-burn would have gone a long way. I did enjoy Lily's voice and obsession with true crime? The mysteries are okay? But it's a no from me.

This was a cute book. Not my normal genre but I enjoyed it. The MC was relatable and fun. I look forward to book two!
