### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Hopeful Book, Perhaps the Best Example of Hopeful I've Read
*by S***L on June 14, 2021*

Good Hope Road is a little bit off Lisa Wingate's beaten path, and off mine as well. But as I often find with books I consider "unusual," I made a connection with Good Hope Road in some unexpected and valuable ways. As other reviewers have said, it's a tough book, externally and internally. Externally, the characters go through the aftermath of a string of tornadoes, which can be painful to watch through your reader's lens. We also get a lot of Jenilee and Eudora's external struggles, considering they're both outcasts in Poetry and have never been given fair chances at relationships or life. On top of that, everyone, not just Jenilee and Eudora, face some heavy internal stakes and decisions. It's a lot to take in. But Lisa Wingate writes everything with such a careful hand, and such attention to everyone's humanity, that I never felt beaten over the head with tragedy. Instead I felt like, "Yeah, these are real people going through life, and often, life is horrible. They're beating it, not letting it beat them. I like these people." That's not to say Good Hope Road is full of perfect characters. They're nuanced, and I love it. That is, you have "good" characters like Jennilee, but Jennilee is flawed. She has accepted the lies and shame spoken over her to the point that she can't see what's best for her or others anymore. You have Eudora, who is a wise, determined, and tenacious woman, but she is by her own admission a mean old lady with a lot of rough edges and preconceived notions. The same is true for "bad" characters. For instance, I hated Mazelle Sibley, but that's partly because I know people like her. I've faced people like her, and the truth is, I've had to come to grips with the fact that some days, Mazelle lives in my mirror. I wasn't a fan of Jennilee's daddy, but then again, how was he treated? How much junk did he have to put up with that he never healed from? Learning he was a Vietnam vet certainly brought some depth to those questions as well. In addition, I soon felt "at home" in Poetry, even though the town had been destroyed. That is, in real life, I would probably look at a town like Poetry or interact with certain residents like Nolan Nelson or Mazelle Sibley or even maybe Jennilee, and drive the other way. But in Good Hope Road, I wanted to stick around. I rooted for the residents to heal, to move forward, to grow. That's why I found myself loving so many of the smaller scenes and gestures, like when Jennilee put up the picture wall or tranquilized Charlie when everybody wanted to shoot him. I live in a small town too, and I remember thinking, "Yeah, this is what happens. Lisa nailed it." I did take a star for a couple of reasons. First, Jennilee and Eudora's story on its own is great, and I know it fits in to the rest of the series because Jennilee is related to the Vongortlers. But for me, there wasn't enough of a connection to previous or following installments (remember, I accidentally read the series out of order, if you're following these reviews). Again, that might just be me, but I wanted more, especially considering Jenilee had no stable or positive family influence throughout her life. I also knocked the rating down to four because of the first picture and letter Jenilee found. That is, Lisa ties up all the loose ends well for Good Hope Road. The baby picture in particular makes perfect sense. But that plot thread was also set up to be a much bigger part of the story, at least to me...and then it wasn't. I also felt there was at least one red herring, considering the origin of June and Ivy's baby and Ivy's relation to Jennilee. However, four stars or five, Good Hope Road is still a strong book and gets a recommendation. It's one of those books that captures humanity and slice of life stories without having to go into genre conventions (the cutesy romance, the unpredictable thriller, the coming-of-age story that jerks tears just to jerk). It's down to earth, real, and yet filled with hope, without making hope a nebulous fairy tale. If you'll forgive the pun, I hope you read and enjoy it, too.
