ARC received from M. Mabie for an honest review
"I didn't care anymore if the things he said sounded cheesy. It's not cheesy when it's real."
I would like to say that this is my first M. Mabie book. I have her first books but I'm so scared to read them because I know they're full of angst, drama, and love triangle. But when I saw that she is releasing a book that is so unlike her first works, I thought this is a nice, gentle way to introduce myself to her writing.
What I enjoyed about Roots and Wings?
It was an easy read. Probably one of the lightest books I've read this year. And true to what the synopsis said, it was indeed -- "Low on drama. High on love." Their story has the potential to drag on to their sad pasts but I enjoyed that Roots and Wings was not about the past, the drama. It was all about someone planting his roots some place new and someone who has to finally spread her wings.
Mutt and Vaughn are two likable characters. The story had that realistic feel because it was about two simple characters in a simple town, it was ordinary but not boring. Roots and Wings is like watching your neighbors fall in love, in real life, only we get to experience it with them in this book.
A funny, friendly tomboy, and a swoony, protective dentist, a small town where everyone knew everyone, it looks like we don't need a sex-filled, angst-filled love story to still fall in love with our books. Roots and Wings made me smile with how sweet and light-hearted M. Mabie wrote Mutt and Vaughn's story.
Also, have you taken a good look at that cover? Love it, too!
