The View from Mount Joy: A Novel by Lorna LandvikMy review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Once again, I really like Lorna Landvik. But this was not my favorite book of hers. I still liked it, just not as much. Joe Andreson is the main character, who we follow from his high school years, to his mid-life. I liked Joe, but I really hated how he kept going back to perfect Kristie Casey. His relationship with his best friend Darva also seemed underdeveloped to me, and I was hoping that they would've eventually wound up together. With all that being said, I found parts charming (the supermarket contests, Joe's relationship with his family), sad parts (Flora being an orphan) and parts being compelling.
