Change of Plans

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


Ryker and Bryce’s story in Change of Plans by Dylan Newton, had me shaking my head and laughing from the start. Each page only added to the hilarity, and I couldn't help but be impressed once again by Newton's sense of humor and cleverness. Change of Plans is a light-hearted, quick-witted read that handles serious topics with heart and compassion.

 

Unexpectedly gaining guardianship of her three nieces, June, Cecily, and Addison, chef Bryce is out of her comfort zone and hanging on by a thread. The chaos she was thrown into and handling her grieving nieces was dealt using humor and delicacy. June, Cecily, and Addison showed their grief differently, and how they processed things were subtle as well as honest. They were cute, funny, and petulant like all children.

 

Ryker, a Marine vet who suffers from PTSD and is an amputee, spends his time restoring vintage vehicles. He offers kindness and understanding to Bryce and her nieces; always there for Bryce and Bryce is equally there for Ryker. The compassion she shows towards him, especially in his raw, vulnerable moments was admirable. It was super heartwarming to watch these two lower their guards, work through the challenges life threw at and together they make it out better; finding room for love. With both their lives completely derailed, this title couldn't be more fitting: a change of plans, indeed. I highly recommend Change of Plans to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
