Not So Little Things Audio Book by Kyle Ann Robertson – Review by Laura Jones

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this book! In this book we meet Tina (Christina) who has created a business making miniature replicas and runs the business out of her home with her best friend as her assistant. As a 9-year-old child Tina discovered her father lying dead over his desk and then was abruptly abandoned by her mother. She was left in the care of her Aunt Liddy (her father’s sister) and carried feelings of resentment toward her mother, as she blamed her mother for not seeking help for her father to save him. And why did her mother never come back for her?

Fast forward to today, Tina is now 33 years old, and her mother shows up at her door claiming she has lung cancer and is going to undergo treatment for it and asks to move in with Tina during the course of the treatments. Of course, Tina is vehemently against her mother moving in! She hasn’t been around for the past 20 plus years, and NOW she wants to come back and make amends?!? At the same time as this is going on, Jake Martin comes into the picture asking to make “little rooms” for his mother for their new B&B. Tina and her assistant gladly take on the job, and during the research for their project, they discover that the past Jake’s family knows isn’t quite as it had appeared. Mirroring this, Tina finds out that the life she thought she knew turned out to be quite a different story and she’s left with so many questions. It completely turns her world upside down as she realizes she’s not who she thought she was, and neither was her beloved father and estranged mother, nor is her dear Aunt Liddy!

I HIGHLY recommend this book. There’s family drama including secrets and betrayal. There’s heartache and love. And even a little romance to boot! You won’t regret this book!
