Review: The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson


About The Book:

Home is the place to heal, right? At least, that's what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she receives an unlikely gift--her grandfather's run-down vintage camp trailer, which she quickly resolves to restore with the help of Jordan Atwood, the handsome owner of the local hardware store. But just when things are finally beginning to run smoothly, Dillon's noncommittal ex-boyfriend shows up with roses . . . and a ring.

My Thoughts:

First I just want to mention, I love this cover! It's so cute!

By the end of the book even I was ready go to out and renovate a little camper! Going through the process with Dillon was a lot of fun.

This story did take a while to get going and was pretty slow the whole way through. Dillon kind of got on my nerves a few times and I didn't really like the way she was instantly so interested in Jordan.

I liked the feel of the small town and seeing the activities they did. It was a cozy read, light read, it just wasn't really my thing.

My Favorite Quote From This Book:

"Sometimes life needs to get shaken up . . . in order to put the pieces together right."
