Main Character Energy

Reading this story felt like a therapy session wrapped up in a book. Although this is NOT a self-help novel, it is filled with messages that will teach you how to love and take chances on yourself. The main character Poppy Banks is an inspiring novelist who has given up on herself. At the age of 32 she feels like she isn't good at anything. She's tired of living on the sidelines watching everyone chase their dreams. But can't seem to stop beating herself down with doubts. When her beloved aunt dies, all of Poppy’s beliefs about herself are challenged. Her aunt left her a surprise trip to her villa in the French Riviera. There, she learns her aunt intends to leave her stunning villa and secretive writer's residency to Poppy—if she can finish her novel in six months. When the writing countdown begins, Poppy realizes she has more to confront than her writer’s block. Family drama, complicated romances and self-doubt all threaten to throw her off course. In this fun and heartwarming debut, Poppy must decide if she can live up to her aunt’s—and her own—desire to be the main character in her own life. This book was good. But I am de-cluttering my home so its gotta go. It's like new. I only read it once.
