A review by rebadee
Pug Hill by Alison Pace

2.0

I should state first off, that I pity the book that follows Lolita. The language here was simple, repetitive, and somewhat annoying. On the one hand, anyone can pick up this book and read it for what it is, a story about a 31-year-old woman who overcomes all of her anxieties in a three month period and then reconnects with "the one that got away." On the other it's pretty silly, and the scenes that take place are really shallow. I wanted to like this book though, and in some places I did, but mostly I felt that it was grazing the surface of the characters and rambling on unimportant details for its 300-some pages. Plus, there's not a whole lot going on with pugs, and to be honest, that was what drew me to the book in the first place. If you need a nice light read, I would suggest picking up a Jennifer Weiner or Melissa Bank book, because they actually do what this book aimed to do a lot better.
