I really liked Sara Stamey's new book PAUSE. So--review, blurb, even a few extra Qs

Over on Book View Cafe, I have a brief jumble of a book review, the blurb I gave the author, and three new questions about Sara Stamey's PAUSE, now available from BVC.

It's for a special audience--not me, I don't lean into so-called women's books--but I really liked the protagonist, and how she survived and thrived in her journey. There are questions about romance, but it is not a Romance. CW for a malpractice suit that is part of the story, and TW for emotional abuse from Ex-partners and fathers, in the past, which she is working to move beyond. I am skittish about the Ex-partners stuff, and it was careful enough to work for me.

So--in case you like some women-rediscovering-life stories occasionally? Or you like to branch out occasionally?

Some info on PAUSE.
