The Violet Hour by Victoria Benton Frank #bookreview @gallerybooks

Overview

A heartwarming and empowering novel about thriving after tragedy, from the author of the “enchanting, hilarious, and insightful” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times author) My Magnolia Summer.

Violet Adams is the perfect, youngest child in a family of loud, passionate women on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. As the sweet, traditional one, she’s always been the steady hand in her family but after a sudden breakup and subsequent tragedy, she doesn’t know who she is anymore.

Aly Knox, Violet’s best friend, is a young influencer still struggling with the loss of her mother and adjusting to joining Violet in Southern living. With her best friend’s help, Violet is determined to break out of her shell—and who she thought she was—no matter what. And what better place to look for success, meaning, and possibly love than the Lowcountry of South Carolina?

Review

Violet and Aly are best friends. They are both struggling with personal issues. Violet is struggling with her ex boyfriend showing back up in her life. Aly is still reeling from the loss of her mother.

I enjoyed Violet and Aly. Both these young ladies have strong opinions. But they are also flawed…in a human way. They make human mistakes. This just endears the reader to both.

I did fluctuate between 3 and 4 stars on this one. But the ending is so very good. I moved it up to 4. It does have some mundane details in this novel. But I love a family drama and this one has secrets and a few intense battles.

Need a tale set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
