Ignoring Alva by Emilie Khair

Big thanks today to Christy of Christy’s Cozy Corners who was so kind as to read and review my book! Fives stars? ***** I have stars in my eyes! She loved the book!

I really enjoyed reading Ignoring Alva! I wasn’t sure about reading it until I read the excerpt which can be found on ignoringalva.com. It sounded like it would be an adventure, and it was! 

Alva has had a mild stroke, and since then she has these flashes where she’s doing something odd…mostly things she wouldn’t do. She convinces her sister Millie, who at age 81 is a year and a half older than Alva, to go on a road trip. To not tell their kids. To just take off without a destination. And they do. They set off towards a “sort of” destination…Niagara Falls. Along the way, they meet a very eclectic bunch of people at a bunch of very eclectic places! To tell you about these people and places would ruin the fun for you! At their age, they really have no fear, and they end up taking down some really bad guys. 

There are so many things that I loved about this book. The banter between the sisters reminded me of my 2 sisters and me. The characters that they encounter on their trip are so well-written that you’ll be able to “see” them and feel like you know them. The author has an extreme talent for describing settings too. I could picture everything so well, and that just made the book become more alive. I laughed so much as I read this! It’s just so entertaining! 

I highly recommend Ignoring Alva to readers who enjoy quirky characters and a storyline that takes you places you’d never expect! Buckle up for a wild road trip with Alva and Millie! 5 stars!

I am so thankful so many generous bloggers took the time to read, and review, and talk about Ignoring Alva. Alva would love to know she is finally getting some recognition! Thank you Christy! And you, out there reading my post, stop by and see what else Christy has reviewed!
