Book review: The Last Anniversary

Title: The Last Anniversary
Author: Liane Moriarity
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Summary: Sophie has always wondered if she'd made a mistake breaking up with Thomas just when he was going to propose.  Three years later she was still single while Thomas was now married with a baby.  When Thomas' Aunt Connie dies, she leaves her house on Scribbly Gum Island to Sophie.  Sophie had only met Aunt Connie a few times, but this event changes Sophie's life in ways she didn't expect and reconnects her with Thomas and his extended family.  Various family members are dealing with personal issues and this book rotates through the personal lens of the different family members.

My review:  This is one of Moriarity's older books.  I had read her most recent book, The Husband's Secret, prior to starting this new blog.  I liked that book, so I thought I'd read some more of her work.  I'd definitely characterize her books as chick lit, for any male readers of this blog (who may or may not like chick lit).  It also takes place in Australia, which allows me to dream about going or even living there someday.  This is a light, fluffy book and a nice counter to the next book that I'll be reviewing.  Stay tuned.
