Ericka Waller | Dog Days | OUT: March 11th | REVIEW | BLOG TOUR

 

Plot: This novel is about those small but life-changing moments that only come when we pause to let the light in. It is three people learning to make connections & finding joy in living life off the leash.

Funny & full of heart, you know that feeling you get after the first few chapters that you have picked up a book you are going to absolutely adore? ...this was that kind of book for me! The writing style is authentic & poignant. 

"I know you have a beautiful soul under all that pomp and bluster, but others might not be so generous. Don't burn all your bridges..." 

People: Centering around three characters George, Lizzie & Dan on the same timeline we follow them & their journeys. My opinions of them changed throughout but they each have their own unique personalities & you can't help but feel for them all. 

I particularly loved grumpy old man George, some of the things he said had me giggling. 

Their only connection is their dogs and what a fabulous bunch of canines they all are! 

Pace: This is a medium-paced read, with an ideal mix of laughter & tears (definitely have some tissues handy!). Life isn't perfect, it's messy & complicated but with small acts of kindness, there is always hope - a sentiment that is captured perfectly in this compelling debut, you won't want to miss.
