"The Love Song of Queenie Hennessy"

"The Love Song of Queenie Hennessy"
By Rachel Joyce
Published by Random House
ebook from NetGalley - finished 2/22/15

Only 2/5 stars

This is a perfect example of when a sequel is truly not needed.  In fact, I feel like by reading this it took away some of my enjoyment of “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry”.  I think the author should have left well enough alone, left Queenie as more of a mystery.  This book wasn’t even their love story, it was her relationship with Harold’s son and her last weeks in Hospice.  I do think the slight twist, if you want to call it that, at the very end was a nice touch and a needed piece to make parts of the book more realistic.  It was a nice ending to just an OK story.
