The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise
By Colleen Oakley
Berkley, 2023, 341 pgs. Fiction
After a freak accident ends Tanner's college soccer career, she must find a new place to live and something else to do with her life. Louise is recovering from hip surgery and her family is convinced that she can no longer live on her own. Tanner comes to live with Louise but soon discovers that there is more to the older Woman than she thought as weird things start to happen and they find themselves on the run from the law.
This isn't the normal kind of book I usually pick up, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Louise is someone I wish I could meet in real life.
