Pallas Poppies
Jenny is 77 and feels she hasn’t accomplished enough in life, she has a “silly” dream to the popular baking show. On a whim she applies and she gets on the show, it starts to stir up some old memories, a secret.
I didn’t really get this. Everything just chugs along, nothing really happens. Nothing is thrown Jenny’s way, no big hurdles. And there are other characters in here but it feels like she never really interacts with them, everything feels very superficial.
I would have loved a book about a woman doing something for herself, maybe some ageist people standing in her way and she saves the day because of her age and experience.
