Lia needs ANSWERS from beyond, NOT matchmaking!

Title: Nobody Tells Lia Anything

Author: Carol Maloney Scott

Series: Spooky Matchmakers, Book 1

Release Date: May 23, 2019

Genre: Paranormal Chick Lit/Romantic Comedy

When twenty-something Lia’s grandmother dies, her life is knocked upside-down. In order to satisfy the terms of her inheritance, Lia is forced to move to the family’s apartment complex in the scenic mountain town of Applebarrow, leaving behind her dead-end job and long-term boyfriend, Jason. While she’s happy to fulfill her Granana’s unusual dying wish to play social director to the eclectic group of tenants, she’s surprised to discover they are not what she was expecting.

Her days as an RA in her college dorm were inadequate preparation for personalities such as a jealous librarian who names her Thanksgiving turkeys, a charmingly naive mechanic who thinks New Wave is beach music, and a volatile menopausal woman who claims to be a delicate flower.

To add to the mayhem, she meets Logan, an attractive young bartender with a penchant for rescuing her from absurd antics, such as losing her phone to a raccoon and thinking Long Island Iced Teas contain little alcohol. As Jason’s behavior becomes increasingly suspicious and erratic, Lia can’t help being drawn to Logan’s thoughtfulness, wit, and intense blue eyes.

As she adapts to her new community, secrets and lies emerge, and Lia wonders what the deceased, AND living, people in her life are hiding. Working to uncover the evidence, Lia hopes a wacky, unexpected visitor from beyond will provide the answers she craves – before she loses her grip on reality, and the love of her life.

JENA’S REVIEW

Nobody Tells Lia Anything by Carol Maloney Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yes, nobody tells Lia anything, including her recently departed (except when she sounds like a ghostly gang member) Grandmother. Lia is adorable and has to deal with a bunch of characters that will make you laugh.

The story begins with Lia and her parents at the reading of the will of Lia’s grandmother, her Dad’s mother. Lisa’s parents are hippies from Vermont and her dad is a famous “Happiness Guru” who is always happy, and equally happy to share his “Happiness Tenets.” (I’m laughing again, just writing this!)

Turns out that the will has an unusual provision and Lia must move to her Grandmother’s apartment complex in a small Virginia town, Applebarrow. According to her late grandmother’s desires, Lia must live there as the apartment manager for a year and bring the residents of the complex closer together.

We have fun meeting all the residents of the apartments as Lia helps them to plan monthly get-togethers. One of the residents is the attractive Logan. Will Lia settle in to the country life?

Maybe, but she’s young, a recent college grad trying to find her way. She has left a boyfriend and her plans for the future back in Richmond. Can she find her way with this crazy new life? (Turns out she can’t literally find her way, she gets lost a bunch, but we cheer her on as she figuratively tries to find herself.)

Readers, you will laugh and have fun with all of Lia’s antics. Good writing by Author Carol Maloney Scott. The book was a bit slow and repetitive for me, but overall, I had a good time in Applebarrow! Thanks to The Letterers Collective for a review copy. This is my honest review.
