Review by Anissa Telle

SCROLL DOWN TO ENTER OUR GIVEAWAY!

The Sweet Spot by Amy Poeppel instantly drew me in to the lives of Lauren, Melinda, and Olivia. These women intrigued me and I enjoyed spending time in their worlds. At first I was a bit bewildered by the events taking place and how they relate to the overarching story. As you get to know the main characters, you find everyone is not what they seemed at first glance. The secrets they share keep you guessing and turning pages to discover the unique plot twists.

Lauren is a remarkable ceramics artist and a mother. Melinda was just left by her husband, and is justifiably, though possibly misguidedly, angry. Olivia is a young woman making her way in the world. On the surface they are nothing alike. A baby – not even their baby – brings them together.

The eponymous Sweet Spot is a neighborhood bar. The people who live nearby and frequent it fill the pages with overflowing humor. The characterization and charm of every single character make this book really compelling.  The Sweet Spot is a look through a window into someone else’s family life. Comical, messy, sometimes frustrating, and ultimately rewarding. Amy Poeppel created another masterpiece with characters that stays with you long after the book ends.

I was provided a free advance reader copy from Atria Publishing in exchange for my honest review. The opinions shared in this review are my own.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

amy poeppelAmy Poeppel grew up in Dallas, Texas. She graduated from Wellesley College and worked as an actress in the Boston area, appearing in a corporate industrial for Polaroid, a commercial for Brooks Pharmacy, and a truly terrible episode of America’s Most Wanted, along with other TV spots and several plays.

She is married to David Poeppel, a neuroscientist at NYU and Director of the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt.

Amy taught high school English in the Washington, DC suburbs, and after moving to New York, she worked as an assistant director of admissions at an independent school where she had the fulfilling experience of meeting and getting to know hundreds of applicant families.

Amy is the author of The Sweet Spot, Musical Chairs, Limelight, and Small Admissions. Amy’s writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Rumpus, LitHub, Working Mother, Points In Case, and The Belladonna. Learn more about Amy Poeppel HERE.
