Mutts & Magnolias

Several new characters arrive in Seagrove and all their lives become intertwined in the small South Carolina town. A new vet arrives to keep his grandfather’s veterinarian clinic open and thriving since he inherited it. Griffin, in the process of adopting a dog, meets Abigail and the sparks fly both good and bad. Life happens and emotions run high. Dawson and Julie find their adopted son, Dylan, has become very withdrawn for no apparent reason. Finding answers is a challenge for the couple. Jainine and William are newly married and are anxiously waiting to adopt a baby. They have a very emotional journey ahead of them. Celeste and Ben have been great friends but they both want more in their lives. Ben’s attempts to “woo” Celeste, are amazing. Tabatha, the pregnant teenager that Abigail and Celeste are helping, hasn’t made the decision about her baby’s future or her own.

The book covers many people in Seagrove and won’t disappoint. There are many good times as well as strong family bonds, but unfortunately, there are sad emotions to deal with. Add in the rescue dogs and everyone’s life is changed.

The story was short and so typical. I read the entire book in a few short hours and knew the ending. From the beginning. A trifle boring.
