“Four Weddings and a Puppy” by Lizzie Shane is the 5th book in her Pine Hollow series. This one follows the story of Kendall, a former Olympic hopeful and Brody James, an Olympic medalist both in the area of skiing. Friends since childhood, and chasing similar dreams until life throws Kendall a curveball and she has to pivot and find a new dream. But, this is much easier said than done. Brody James achieved Kendall’s dream but is that still HIS dream? This book felt heavier to me than the others which is why I’d give it 4 /5 stars. The characters are unique enough that the story line doesn’t feel too repetitive even though the basic premise among all of them are similar. I think the underlying issue of mental health, finding your purpose, dealing with other’s expectations of you are all very important. I just wasn’t expecting the book to be so reflective (especially since the two main characters struggle with self reflection / awareness as much as they do). I also may not have enjoyed it as much because it’s more sports focused as well as the fact that my personality differs from Kendall’s. This made it harder for me to relate to but that’s okay. It’s still a solid story and for some might be 100% relatable.
