Three years post-life-altering-heartbreak, Faith finds herself back in her idyllic hometown of Blue Heron. There were so many secondary characters fighting for the spotlight with their colorful personalities that it tended to overshadow what I showed up for-Faith and Levi’s love story. This time though, Higgins straddled that fine line between chuckle-inducing humor and just plain overkill. The majority of which is expressed through the “quirky” characters she brings to life among the pages. Present and accounted for is the author’s witty sense of humor I’ve come to adore. Granted, this series starter is one of her earlier works-published in 2013-which says to me that she’s not only grown considerably as a writer but reigned herself in a bit. With the number of books she’s released into the world, there was bound to be a “dud” among the bunch though. With that said, The Best Man is far from what I would consider Kristan’s strongest work and not a candidate for my loved pile. The heart, humor, and relatability dominating her storylines have captured my heart time and again, ensuring any and all of her books earn a place in my read (if not my loved) pile. No marketing campaign necessary to convince me.
I’m sure the number of enthusiastic reviews I’ve written for her work hardly makes this a secret, but nevertheless, I feel compelled to mention, Kristan Higgins has earned favorite storyteller status from this reader.
