Jane's World: The Case of the Mail Order Bride by Paige Braddock
3.0
I received a free copy of this book through NetGalley.
This book is based on a comic strip that I've never read, but you don't need any prior knowledge of the comic to understand this story. It's very much a comic in novel form, low-stakes, funny, and charming in a way that feels like a longer version of a sitcom episode. It's a quick and light read with a sense of fun and optimism that made it easy to like. The writing is in service of the characters and humor, no more and no less.
I wasn't blown away, but it's a decent book to spend a few hours with.
