The Lager Queen of Minnesota

I don’t really know why I liked this book, but I read it in three days, so I guess that tells you something.

My sister described it as “the Parks & Rec of books because you just want all the characters to end up happy.” And I suppose that’s true. Unfortunately, I think that comparison also describes this book’s shortcomings—the end fizzles out.

I don’t mean to say that the ending is bad (it’s not). It just leaves you shrugging your shoulders, reminiscing about the middle pages of the book that had you excited to keep going.

Still, the characters in this book are phenomenal. It’s probably the only time I can think of in a novel where I’ve ended a chapter, seen that the next chapter is from another character’s perspective, and always felt excited to keep reading. Usually, in multiple-POV books like this, one storyline or another drags. I didn’t feel that here.

They all move forward with a great, engaging pace. So, if you’re looking for a book that you can just fall into for a couple of days, this one has its perks.
