Lost, Found, and Forever
Chance, my rescue beagle, is my shadow. I love him more than I ever thought possible. I am a dog person, and if you own a dog you will understand when I say I would choose him over a person any day of the week and twice on Sundays. This dog is my coworker, my copilot, and my snuggle buddy. He’s the best, paws down, and I would do anything for him. I’ve followed Victoria Schade’s Instagram for a while and she, too, is a dog person. I really like her media persona, and her dogs Millie and Olive are absolute stars. So, after seeing the arc on Netgalley (and also feeling like a fraud because I hadn’t read anything else by VS) I requested to review “Lost, Found, and Forever”. I don’t really know what I was expecting - something like a hallmark-movie-in-a-book novel where the characters are pure and sweet, with the smallest amount of drama. This story seems so simple on the surface, but there is real depth and levels of tension that had me hooked from page one. I laughed at both dog and people antics, I was drawn to the chemistry, and the cracked-door romance. Justine adopted Spencer from a small shelter and they’ve been best buds for a year. She and Spence get the job of a lifetime working as a dog actor on a new tv show, but suddenly she’s thrown for a loop when someone claims that Spencer is their lost dog, Leo. This novel follows Justine and Griffin, who must navigate the custodial battle of their best friend, and Spencer’s break out role as a dog actor. I want to dive into this story and be friends with everyone. Please do yourselves a favor and pick this up when it's published on March 30th.
