When
Hollywood agent Fritz Hudson passes away he leaves behind secrets that come out
of hiding. For Fritz left behind two families on opposite coasts who had no
idea that the other existed and the three daughters he leaves behind find out
about one another in a lawyer’s office. Allie and Des Hudson were products of
his first marriage to an actress, Honora, a relationship that ended in tragedy.
As his relationship with Honora was unraveling, Fritz was falling in love with
Susa, a New Age Hippie that brought him such peace and gave him a daughter
named Cara. But now with Fritz gone, he has the three sisters come together to
hear what his terms are for their inheritance. The terms are clear- the sisters
are to move to Fritz’s hometown in the Pocono Mountains and restore an old
theater there that Fritz was obsessed about. All three must show up or else the
inheritance is forfeit. Can Des, Allie and Cara find a way to turn their
father’s dream into a reality or will they walk away from it all?
I
absolutely adored this book. THE LAST
CHANCE MATINEE had everything I love in a book-Captivating characters, a
well thought out storyline that left me eager for more and some twists I sure
did not see coming. With each page I flipped, I was drawn more and more into
the story about three different sisters that had to work through a lot of shock
and more when they find out about one another. I love Ms. Stewart’s writing and
her books are always a winner with me. In her new series, we are introduced to
the Hudson sisters, three siblings who had no idea about the other. Allie and
Des are products of Fritz’s first marriage and have issues that they are
dealing with. Cara is a woman who is trying to expand her business and try to
move ahead in life after the shock of her marriage dissolving so suddenly. All
three main characters are as different as can be, but they work so well
together. Add in some surprise characters that helped flesh out the backstory
of Fritz’s youth well, you get a well-rounded story that will leave you
breathless.
Ms.
Stewart delivers a great story that is based in part about a story that ran
through her family as a child about two families who didn’t know about one
another. That connection made the book so much more to me in my opinion and I
enjoyed how she weaves that plot monkey in a way that leaves the reader
clamoring for more. The characters are well written, so much so I enjoyed all
three sisters immensely as each has their own strengths they bring to the
renovation. There are a few twists that I thoroughly enjoyed and didn’t see
coming.
THE LAST CHANCE MATINEE is a fun, enjoyable
story that you will not be able to put down. I loved how the author captures
all the differences in the sisters and it meshes wonderfully together in this
book. I read this in two days and I am eager to see where the author goes next
in the series and which sister is up next. THE LAST CHANCE MATINEE is a story
not just of sisters, but also of family or working through things that may have
knocked you down, but you still got some fight left in you. If you haven’t read
Ms. Stewarts books before, this is a perfect introduction to her writing. I
highly recommend this authors books and hope you can grab THE LAST CHANCE MATINEE as it is fabulous. I am sure you will enjoy
it just as I did.
