Finding Tuesday

Never Say Never. If you do, it'll come back and bite you in the ass...

             The above a tried and true axiom has never been proved better than in Finding Tuesday, a contemporary romance written by Savannah Scarborough.

           After a twenty-year absence, Grace McAllister returns to Temple, Georgia for the reading of her father’s will. She has neither seen, nor heard from him in all that time—but curiosity drives her to return, perhaps to find a bit of herself as well as the man who was her father.

         When the will reveals she is not Benjamin Troup McAllister’s biological daughter, Grace digs in her heels and decides to stick around and jerk a few chains of her own. Aided by former bully Mayfield Donovan, who still plays the role of enigmatic bad boy, the two uncover a world of secrets, treachery and bad blood.

         With snappy dialogue, more than a few laugh out loud moments, and a richly drawn setting of rural Georgia in the middle of a June heat wave, this is one fun story. The characters are multi-layered and as complex as the backstory which leads Gracie and May on their journey to find Tuesday. A jewel of a story.

          On a scale of 1-5, Finding Tuesday deserves a 6.
