#68 The Last Caretaker by Jessica Strawser Katie’s divorce was, in a word, humiliating. So when her friend Bess offers a fresh start—a residential caretaking job at a nature preserve—Katie accepts. No matter that she’s not exactly a “nature person.” How hard can it be?
But from day one, something feels off. Katie’s new farmhouse looks as if the last caretaker barely moved out at all. When a frantic, terrified woman arrives late at night, expecting a safe place to hide, it’s clear caretaking involves way more than Katie bargained for.
I kept reading this book, thinking it had to get better. It didn't. Slow and plodding. Predictable and preachy. Unlikeable characters. I do not recommend this book.
