RayAnne has a fishing show on TV and hosts female guests who have absorbing, albeit sometimes off-beat, tales to tell - that sounds like a fairly interesting concept for a book. It's her quirky family that I found annoying - I really dislike quirky characters, and the author at first almost seemed to go overboard by trying way too hard to make every encounter and everything they said eccentric or outlandish. However, RayAnne's steadiness started to outweigh these complaints of mine, and by the end I was on board. There's a pleasant love story as well. It's an OK book. ( ) Loved this book right up until the very end, when it pulled hard on my heartstrings and I ended up bawling like a baby (which I hate). I couldn't subtract a star for it, though, because it was consistent with the story and was therefore believeable instead of manipulative. RayAnne is a fisherwoman (fisherperson?) who formerly competed on a competitive fishing circuit. She was hired as the fishing consultant on a TV talk show (think Oprah, except they're on a fishing boat), but because the original host quit, she's been appointed the temporary replacement. She and her producer find interesting guests, and talk to them about their accomplishments while fishing. It's an unusual premise, but one that hooked me easily. (Pun intended). The backdrop of fishing could have been expanded a little more, but I found it pleasant and interesting. And RayAnne's family is full of characters, from a slightly has-been, alcoholic father to twin-terror nephews to a completely hippie-dippy mother, all of which add up to a somewhat frenetic family life that contrasts nicely with the peaceful semi-solitude of RayAnne's fishing boat. I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"RayAnne Dahl goes fishing for a different life, catching much more than she'd bargained for. Having fled the testosterone-soaked world of pro fishing to finally settle in her Minneapolis fixer-upper, thirty-something RayAnne unexpectedly lands at the helm of the first all-women fishing and talk show. Between her dad's falling off the wagon, unwanted advice from Mom-a life coach to the menopausal rich-and her clingy dog, she needs the advice of her beloved grandmother more than ever. With the show's surprise success, producers press for celebrity appearances, but fans tweet support for RayAnne and her quirky guests, real women with unique stories and something to say. And though handsome Hal tempts RayAnne, he is a sponsor, rocketing him to the top of her don'ts list. Just when she's shedding uncertainty, RayAnne's world nearly capsizes, and she's faced with gut-wrenching choices. Will she live by the rules, or by her heart?"--provided by publisher.
