While Tiny House in the Trees is
the third A Tiny House Novel, it can be read alone. Each book focuses on a
different woman and a tiny house. I thought the book contained good writing and
steady pacing. Molly is a unique
individual who has too many ideas for her thesis and has trouble focusing on
the project at hand. She is supposed to
graduate in June, but Molly keeps making changes to her thesis project which is
not a hit with Professor Cambridge (a member of her thesis committee). When she finds herself homeless, she comes up
with various solutions. Molly is her own
worst enemy (her antics made me cringe).
She acted more like a teenager than a woman in her 20s (she has growing
up to do). I was happy to see her grow as a person. The two men in the story are opposites (of
course). Quinn has a lackadaisical
attitude towards work and prefers to spend his time gambling and flirting with
women. Bale is a hardworking man who
creates unique tiny homes that he displays at conventions around the
country. He has fallen in love with
Molly, but she sees him as a friend. Bale
would like to move forward with his life, but Molly ends up in his backyard
needing help. I enjoyed the descriptions
of Bale’s creative tiny homes. I was not
a fan, though, of Molly’s foul mouthed bird, Galileo. I could have done without the foul
language. Tiny House in the Trees is a light-hearted,
cute romance novel that I am giving 3 out of 5 stars.
The other two novels in A Tiny House Novel series are Tiny House on the Hill and Tiny House on the Road. Thank you for joining me today. I am going to feature Cut to the Chaise by Karen Rose Smith tomorrow. It is the eighth A Caprice De Luca Mystery. May you have a congenial day. Take care and Happy Reading!
