A review by wafflesnbooks
The Patchwork Bride by Sandra Dallas

2.0

I really did not enjoy this book. The writing style was overly simplistic - telling and telling and never showing - and the plot ranged from boring to implausible to downright baffling at times. I caught on early to several of the big reveals

Ellie is Nell, Ben is Buddy

but the biggest of them all

Nell has a baby after leaving Buddy

just came out of nowhere for me and added very little to the story.

The only redeeming quality for me was the way each story was tied to a location. Each episode felt well-grounded in time and place, and I particularly enjoyed reading about northern New Mexico.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley to read in exchange for an honest review.
