“I will always read any of Jill Shalvis books.”
Jill Shalvis is my girl for women's fiction books. She always knows how to hook me in, and keep me interested. And The Back-Up Plan is no different.
The Back-Up Plan is the ultimate chaotic found family trope to read. It’s messy yet realistic when you drift apart from your former friends and hometown. And it never gets better when you avoid talking about the real issues at hand. It’s something that Alice, Lauren, and Knox will figure out when they renovate their inherited B&B.
With three main characters and their own povs, we get to read about their ongoing battle with each other and their struggles. And the main thing separating them is not addressing the main issue. It’s a bit of an avoiding game, but I kind of understand why though. Alice has been blamed for a lot when she shouldn’t have, and it does not help when Lauren wants to forget what happens. I find Lauren's character very annoying and unlikeable. She really shouldn’t blame Alice, it wasn’t her fault. I won’t go anymore because I don’t want to spoil anything. I will say that if you are looking for a messy found family women fiction read, then this book is the one to read.
