The twins, Savannah
and Thomas, lost their mother when they were thirteen. They live with
Maggie, the eccentric and quite delightful grandmother. Maggie
believes that everyone should have a voice and wants to expose the
twins to many different people. She hosts dinners at her upscale home
around her red table. At these dinners, the twins get to express
their ideas and get to know people.
One sadness for the
twins is that they don’t know who their father is. At one of
Maggie’s dinners, the idea of doing a podcast to search for their
father is born. The family produced podcast isn’t very successful,
but when a professionally produced podcast replaces it, the family
find themselves famous.
This is an enjoyable
story of family. The twins are inquisitive and Maggie doesn’t hold
them back, although sometimes she wonders about her decision. My
favorite characters were Maggie and Savannah. Savannah grows through
the story learning to express herself. Maggie is eccentric, but she
loves the twins and wants the best for them. Thomas was harder to
like. He acted arrogant and unpleasant through much of the story.
The story line in
interesting, and I enjoyed the characters, but the pacing is slow. To
enjoy this book you have to commit time to getting to know characters
rather then fast paced action.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
