The Unlikely Gift Of Treasure Blume (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I thought this was a cute, fun book. Lots of bad puns and groan out loud momemnts. Totally clean (yea! -- thank you Lisa Harris!) Not deep reading, by any stretch of the imagination, but did delve a little deeper by exploring issues of first impressions, judgements we make, and continually asked the question "What is the difference between a blessing and a curse?" It was very hard to find this book... it was written by a local author and that's how I found out about it in the first place. Glad I read it. :) Treasure Blume was named appropriately, she is a treasure. Some would find her a treasure in the rough because she doesn't make a good first impression. In fact, many people take an intense dislike to her at first glance. She has lived with this condition all of her life, it is her family legacy. She has inherited the family "gift".Once people get over their first impression, they discover that she has a kind heart and a lot of love to give. Not everyone would devote their time to children and old ladies, but that is where Treasure is in her element.Love has never been a strong suit for her. In fact, the story begins with a blind date. I was glad for her that she makes a bad impression to begin with, because the date was a complete loser. It is pretty fun though. It sets the setting for the rest of the book.Her romance with the male "lunch lady" is wonderful. I enjoyed their unique dynamic and the love and devotion that they have to their family and friends. Her increased confidence makes for a physical transformation that was great to read about.This is a clean and fun read.
