Review: Molly (Sewing in SoCal #1) by Sarah Monzon

About the Book
If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I absolutely refuse to tell a lie no matter the consequences. So don’t ask me a direct question unless you’re prepared for a direct answer—that’s something my SoCal sewing girlfriends have learned the hard way.
But who would have thought my honesty policy would get me fired from my job at the preschool? Or that a desperate—and not to mention devastatingly handsome—single father of one of my (now-former) students would hire me that same day as a nanny for his daughter?
I’m an education professional. How hard can taking care of a four-year-old and her over-stressed, over-worked father be?


My Thoughts

Molly was a ridiculously fun read. I needed a good laugh and this provided many. But there was also a lot of depth there too. I loved the balance.

Molly tells the truth no matter what, almost to a fault sometimes. We see just how much trouble her unfiltered honesty can get her into within the first few pages. She's an entertaining and unpredictable character, that's for sure.

I loved Dr. Ben. He's such a good and caring man. He wants the absolute best for his daughter, but he's being pulled in so many different directions it's hard to give her the attention she deserves. It's so sweet the lengths he goes to for her.

Each chapter switches the narration between Molly and Ben, and because they're both told in first person I'd sometimes get confused about which one of them was narrating at the time. But all in all, I had a really great time reading this book and am looking forward to the rest of the series.
